Climb to Stourhead

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Some people like to torture themselves up Kingsettle Lane. By comparison, this is a really nice and enjoyable climb up to the same area. Never gets too steep and some lovely views off to the left hand side. Maybe more traffic but all in all a nicer experience.

Dark Lane Climb

Highlight • Climb

A fantastic climb featuring a sharp hairpin bend near the top that adds a rewarding challenge. Spotting the house ahead signals you're almost at the summit, so shift into a low gear and enjoy the ascent! The descent is equally thrilling, with smooth roads and exhilarating twists making it a cyclist's dream.
