    The road heading up onto Redburn Common from Allenheads (430m) in the west climbs through a steep hairpin bend and several shallower corners to reach an altitude of 533m. The descent down the otherside to Rookhope at just over 300m is more gradual and fun to ride.
    Also good the other way with a longer steady climb and then a steep descent down to Allenheads, watch out for the tight corners and cattle grid on the descent if riding in this direction.

    Also good going down but watch out for the cattle grid and the hairpin bends

    This is the high point after the hairpin through the forest to the county border. Then follows a very long scenic descent well worth the effort.
