クイドハンプトンの天然記念物・トップ3

国立速度制限標識のすぐ後に急な部分が終わりますが、路面は依然として非常に良好です。

Grovely Wood is one of Wiltshire's largest mixed woodlands and there's loads of trail running potential here. Particularly beautiful in spring, the chalk ridge it woodland adorns is a delight all year round. This section is part of the Monarch's Way, a 625-mile (1,006 km) long-distance trail that represents the escape route taken by King Charles II after his defeat at the battle of Worcester.

‘Harnham Chalk Pit’ as it is marked on maps, is a long-abandoned chalk quarry that has been taken back by nature. Several different levels accessed with paths that scramble up the quarry sides. I imagine they will be lethal after recent rainfall! Loads of butterflies and wildflowers seen today (August). Unfortunately litter appears to be an issue here, not excessive but noticeable. It baffles me why anyone leaves rubbish indiscriminately in locations like this. Great distant view of Salisbury Cathedral from upper levels.

Nice little hill, road surface pretty smooth which makes gradient seem less severe. Steep bit doesn't last long.

If going downhill make sure you slow down and get on the brakes. If there's a horse rider or lorry round the blind bend at the bottom, you don't want to be flying. Going uphill, excessive speed ain't going to be an issue!

Really good place to go for beginners and lovely view definitely worth it!

Figsbury Ring is an Iron Age hill fort that affords fine views over Salisbury Plain, Old Sarum, and Salisbury Cathedral. The fort is unusual as it contains another smaller enclosure, which is possibly Neolithic. The site is managed by the National Trust and is free to enter.

Nice hill climb with views across Cranborne Chase. Decent is a great fun as long as there’s no crosswinds!
