Lilley Bottom Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A classic segment for local cyclists, thanks to a nice gradient, few junctions and little traffic - the area being sort of underdeveloped "thanks" to the air traffic at nearby …

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.

View of the Bedfordshire Countryside

I love cycling along here from Watton to Walkern. Generally little traffic, lovely views and a gentle gradient. It feels a lot further from London than it is and Church Farm at Ardelely is very close.

Descent on the Datchworth–Watton Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A lovely stretch of road, one of my favourites, don't forget to take in the scenery as you go by.

Digswell Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

It really is a stunning view. Coming out of the road covered by canopies and there it stands with its might, stretching quite a distance. Especially breathtaking when you have the sun up and a train is passing.
