great route just watch the nettles!

St Mary’s church is, as its appearance suggests, Norman (12th century) in origin and is a building of significant historical interest. There has been a church on the site for over 1000 years, the present church being built on the site of a former Saxon minster. Much of the present building dates from a major rebuilding in the 19th century. There are many interesting features including its unusual weather vane which is affectionately known locally as The Bedbug. Legend has it that its design was determined by King John, who on one occasion being prevented from reaching his hunting lodge on Cottington Hill by fog had to spend a night in the local inn where his night was badly disturbed by bedbugs! The church is open every day for visitors, for those wanting a quiet place to sit and think and for those wishing to pray. Cit. https://www.explorechurches.org/church/st-mary-kingsclere

From this spot, you get a wonderful view over the rolling Hampshire countryside. A short distance to the west, you find Cottington Hill and Bowry Walls hill fort.

Kingsclere is a pretty village with a history that stretches back to the 9th century. There are a couple of old inns in the village, places for food and drink, and accommodation, making it a good place for a pit-stop or an overnight stay. St Mary’s Church, in the heart of the village, is a Grade II-listed building.

Great ride. Bloody good hill😮

Nice bit of link path from Rectory Lane to the junction with Hollowshot Lane. A little steep at the Easten end, so depending on your set up, it might be hike-a-bike time. Great in the dry—probably not the best in the wet! Unless mud's your thing. If not heading down Hollowshot Lane, Rectory Lane can be followed all the way to Kingsclere.
