Until 2011, the A3 bottlenecked at Hindhead, going from two lanes to one. There was always traffic, air pollution was high there was a significant number of accidents. The Hindhead Tunnel was dug to allow the road to continue as a dual carriageway. You can now cycle up the old A3 to the Devil's Punchbowl. The second half is traffic free and the views at the top are beautiful at any time of the year, but especially in the autumn. Look around at the power of nature to reclaim the land.

A slightly long drag up here, but you will almost always be rewarded with beautiful views.
