Fascinating little train stop in the middle of the highlands which is largely inaccessible by vehicles (bikes or by foot is perfect) which is request only. Possibly the most remote station in the UK?!

Maybe your last food stop for a while!?

Absolutely spectacular gravel road section between Dundreggan (South) to Tomich (North), just looking on the map you can see how wiggly it is across the moorland! Enjoy the well surfaced gravel up and over the peak of Càrn Mhic an Tòisich.

The Corrieyairack Pass has somewhat legendary status in these parts. It climbs up to 2,526 feet (770 meters) and forms part of a network of military roads built in this area by General Wade in the 18th Century.

It links Fort Augustus and Laggan, the rivers Spey and Tarff. Good luck passing through on this one either by mountain bike or foot, it's a beast!

Loch Ossian is a 3 mile (5 kilometer) long Loch on the Corrour Estate on Rannoch Moor, just two kilometers from Corrour train station. It's a beautiful area, served by wide and rocky gravel roads. Stay in the Loch Ossian YHA if you're in the area and enjoy dinner at the Corrour Station House inn.

Incredible gravel riding along here, with twisting turning singletrack and loose gravel climbs, a real treat!

Famed for being the most geographically remote station in Wales, it can get a bit hectic nowadays receiving an average of five passengers a month.

Great bit of gravel riding. It’s rocky so rideable in the winter time. However it’s pretty wet!

Welcome to the top of the world! Well, at least Somerset. We may not be blessed with mighty mountains in the South West, but it's still certainly and achievement to climb Dunkery Beacon at 1705 feet (520m), whether that's by foot, or by bike, on road or off. Be prepared for more fierce weather if you're planning a trip up here as it can be much more blustery and cold up here than in the Exmoor valleys. There's a great off road trail up from Exford - have you tried it?

Lying in the saddle between Pen y Fan and Fan y Big, the Gap has long been a focal point for mountain biking in the Brecons.

Best ridden from south to north, the climb is straightforward and the descend down the other side exhilarating; rock steps at the top add spice, but it's technically not too demanding after them. It's an awful lot of fun. though. But at 600m, it can get pretty blowy if the weather's poor!

The Daddy of UK mountains. 11/10 in Another 100 Greatest Climbs - "England's Ventoux". Careful on the lower slopes as it's easy to burn too much energy there. The last 2 miles of this climb to the highest paved surface in England is on beautiful closed roads. It's savagely steep in places and relentless. The view at the top will either be of nothing past your feet or of the whole world. A MUST for any road cyclist in the Cold Dark North

The easiest way in and out of Bristol by bike. Usually quiet and leads straight to Ashton court and some nice roads out of Bristol. Can be used to head to the Mendips or over towards Weston Super Mare and Clevedon.

Number 91 on Top 100 Climbs...

The Falkirk Wheel is the only rotating boat lift in the world. This feat of engineering stands at 115 feet tall and, using the power of eight domestic kettles, transfers boats 79 feet (24 metres) through the air between the Forth & Clyde Canal and the Union Canal. Boats must then ascend another 36 feet (11 metres) through a pair of locks between the top of the wheel and the Union Canal. There is a visitor centre here with facilities and information on the Wheel.
