Great bridleway gravel track linking to Kingscote to Horsley. Suitable for MTB and gravel bikes (ideally 40mm tyres). Multi-use path so as ever be respectful of others.

When entering from Kingscote, remember to turn off the main track and head down another less well-defined grassy track to enter the woods at a gate. If you reach a 5 bar gate on the main track you've gone too far. Turn back because continuing will lead you into a world of pain... I know from experience!
The start of the track can be a little muddy in places, but improves progressively as you continue down the valley to end on pristine gravel towards the Horsley end. The climb in the opposite direction is a little tough, but eminently doable on a gravel bike in good conditions. The grassy slope at the end is a bit of a leg burner and would be nigh on impossible for all but the most rugged of bikes if there is any moisture whatsoever.
