Road cycling

Amazing (mostly) hard-packed gravel ride suitable for roadies as well as mountain bikers with lots of tracks off the main trail. The path takes you through lush green fields and atmospheric woodland. Not to be missed for any cyclist. It's a shared path but you can still get up some speeds, especially on the downhill sections.
