Hexton Road to Lilley

Highlight • Cycleway

A nice section of relatively quiet road north of Lilley. It's undulating rather than hilly and very nice to avoid the busy A6 or A505 which I wouldn't recommend.

Lilley Bottom Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A classic segment for local cyclists, thanks to a nice gradient, few junctions and little traffic - the area being sort of underdeveloped "thanks" to the air traffic at nearby …

Nine Wells Watercress Farm

Highlight • Structure

Can't beat good watercress farm!

Emily's Tea Shop

Highlight • Cafe

Nice little cafe set on a smallholding, lots of room for bikes and seating inside and out. Good coffee and cakes.

Ballslough Hill

Highlight • Climb

Use the first few hundred meters to get some speed and take it easy, as it gets steeper round the corner. You can make up speed after the second corner where it eases off.

Digswell Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

It really is a stunning view. Coming out of the road covered by canopies and there it stands with its might, stretching quite a distance. Especially breathtaking when you have the sun up and a train is passing.
