Tot Hill Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

This used to be the A14 until it was bypassed. While the surface wasn't spectacular then, as a cycle path it's fantastic.

Descent to Old Newton Church

Highlight • Cycleway

Short but testing descent and climb past Old Newton church. The gradient sharpens to the T-junction and the surface has loose chippings so modulate your braking carefully.
