Wolvens Lane

Highlight • Trail

25.08.19 Rookery Descent/Drive - overgrown in places and a tree is blocking the way. It is possible to pass but have to crouch under the tree. I would advise avoiding route.

Tip by

12.9 km

At 856 feet (261 m), Holmbury Hill is the fourth highest point in Surrey and affords spellbinding views over the Surrey Hills, most notably Leith Hill and Gibbet Hill. On the summit, you find the remains of an Iron Age hillfort.

Yoghurt Pots Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

From the top of Holmbury Hill, you'll find Yoghurt Pots trail by looking down the trail 328 feet (100 m) from the lookout.

Expect tight berms and a sequence of bomb holes before being spat out the other end onto the fire road, where you can turn left to go back up for round two, or turn right to ride Telegraph Row.

Barry Knows Best Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

One of the best-known and most-loved trails in the Surrey Hills, Barry Knows Best is often techy, sometimes tight, brilliantly flowy singletrack that heads down the side of Holmbury Hill.

Start from Radnor Road, by the reservoir, with a few rooty corners and dips before a series of steps, berms and bumps that'll certainly put a grin on your face! It's easy to loop with the bridleway at the bottom leading straight back up the hill for round two!

Telegraph Road Singletrack

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A pretty Ronseal trail name, Telegraph Road follows the dead straight telegraph pole line. The first part is pretty uphill and a bit pedally, and then you're treated to flowing singletrack that's all gently downhill, ending at the car park of the youth hostel. There's a few drop offs on this section so make sure you're happy with that before diving in! You cross a few fire roads on the trail too, so keep an eye out for any other bikers or walkers crossing these before flying through.
