Part of the South Downs Way, Iford Hill is a tough climb that'll reward you with spectacular views over chalk grassland meadows, rural farmland landscapes and to the quaint towns and villages down in the valleys below.

Part paved, part gravel, you'll ideally need a mountain bike, 'cross or gravel bike to tackle this one!
