Hexton Road to Lilley

Highlight • Cycleway

A nice section of relatively quiet road north of Lilley. It's undulating rather than hilly and very nice to avoid the busy A6 or A505 which I wouldn't recommend.

A local legend! Steep and straight, you'll know you've been up a hill! Great views from the top though.
