Ardingly Village

Highlight • Cafe

A small Sussex village with all the vital ingredients; a good cafe, a couple of pubs, a post office... as well as one of the largest showgrounds in the Southeast of England and a scuba diving shop! The showground is a good place to teach children to ride a bike as its got several kilometres of safe sealed roads with no traffic.

Ardingly Reservoir

Highlight • Climb

A stunning reservoir lake which is great to walk around. It feels like an enchanted forest, something out of a fairy tale but there is also a great downhill followed by a challenging climb, no matter your approach. Lock the bikes up and explore — it's about the adventure after all. But either way, it's a good way to get some more feet of climbing to impress your Strava followers.

View of the Ouse Valley Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

One of the country's most beautiful, ornate viaducts, the Ouse Valley Viaduct is still in use today, carrying trains between London and Brighton. It has 37 spans and is a Grade II-listed structure, completed in 1842. It's easy to enjoy some fantastic views of the viaduct, thanks to nearby footpaths, including the Ouse Valley Way.
