Good descent with plenty of run out.
Good climb but take it easy at bottom as it really kicks in halfway through after a slight left hand bend.

Lichfield Cathedral is a stunning medieval church and the only cathedral in England with three spires. Built from 1195 to 1340, the cathedral wasn't always a calm place – it was severely damaged during the English Civil War. During this time, soldiers demolished the central spire, smashed the stained glass and damaged the roof. The destruction was only fully repaired in the 19th century.

You can visit the cathedral from 9.30am - 5pm Monday to Saturday and from 12.30pm - 5pm on Sundays. For more information, visit: lichfield-cathedral.org

Highlight • Bridge

Ferry Bridge is a pretty Victorian foot bridge over the River Trent.

Built to replace a small ferry service that had operated at the same site since the 13th century. and gifted to the town by brewing magnate Michael Arthur Bass, later Lord Burton.

The bridge is a "semi-suspension" bridge, of which this is the first and only one of its kind in Europe to be built to this design.
