Dovhouse Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

To my mind, a must: straight, slightly downhill section of road; good tarmac; little traffic; few intersections (all rare things). Probably the best segment to test your personal top speed!

Bison Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

It's names Bison Hill because of the Bison that live in the neighbouring field. Look out for them on the way up, but not on the way down - keep your eyes on the road, as it can get hairy if you don't quiet read the bend when a car is coming the other way.

Much nicer than cycling along the A1081. Includes a harmless small stretch of gravel in the middle.
