Downhill westbound

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

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.

Flood-Prone Road

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

A ditch runs along the western side. When it fills up, in heavy rains, it floods the road, badly.

Steep Climb on A-Road

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Not for the faint of heart northbound, in terms of both the steepness and traffic rushing by (and darting back into your path as they see a car coming the opposite way). A pleasure to fly down southbound, though watch for the road surface, as it's not entirely smooth.

Nice pub

Uphill westbound

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

It's by no means the steepest climb around, but can be a challenge with the wind in your face westbound.

The Brewery Tap

Highlight • Pub

Nice pub with food and a shop. worth a stop.

Patmore Heath Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The hamlet of Patmore Heath is home to a nature reserve of the same name, a rare example of heath grassland in the region. Keep your eyes to the sky for kestrels and red kites, while the warmer months see common lizards here too. After enjoying the wildlife, the nearby Catherine Wheel pub is a great option for a bite to eat.
