February 7, 2025,Old Keig Stone Circle loop from Tullynessle

A short road cycling loop on mostly quiet roads which passes between a Neolithic Stone Circle and an Iron Age hillfort (The Barmkin), both of which are easily accessible. Great views over the River Don and the Howe of Alford from the highest point of the loop.
