Ninno Wood

Forest

20.6 km

Turn on the afterburners and fly down the hill as fast as you dare westbound! Hell on earth going uphill eastbound. In hours of darkness during winter, you will likely hear tawny owls calling to each other from the north.

Tip by

Little Chishill

Highlight • Settlement

Just a couple of blink-and-you-miss-them cottages with a church. The road drops quickly into the village through a narrow, high-banked lane, which can make the uneven surface difficult to see if it's a bright day and you're wearing sunglasses.
