Super fun, fast and flowy descent out onto the fields. Mega views down into Cromford Meadows. The track is wide, some embedded rock. Watch out for the sheep!

Starts with a climb - stop for a rest and look back for a great view of the castle. Then a long exciting ride down through Coumbs Wood and into Bow Wood. Watch out for the right turn (through a gate) into the fields as it's easy to miss.
