Southwell Chicane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

An interesting section of road that floats beautifully into an s'bend at the bottom of two hills. One that leads to Stoven and one that leads to Sotterly. If its rained heavily for a while it tends to flood and mud runs off from the fields leaving sand and debris.
