Absolutely magnificent! A must for everyone from hardcore gravel grinders to pleasure riders out for a bimble! Miles of pristine flat gravel and magnificent scenery. There are a few low bridges to duck under and the bracken encroaches a bit in places during the summer... just plow through it! It's also a bit narrow in places, so consideration for oncoming bikes and walkers is needed. Possibly best avoided on a sunny Sunday afternoon!
