February 25 - Road is very broken up. Quite dangerous on a road bike if you've picked up speed on the descent.

Edgehill Castle (Tower) which is now a rather nice pub/restaurant. The castle was built in the 18th Century as a 'sham' castle reputedly on the exact spot where Charles I raised his standard before the Battle of Edgehill during the first English Civil War. Apparently Cromwell got there too late for the battle.

strange 'castle', with nice views.

Open 6 days a week. Lovely cakes!

Great little climb with enough twists turns and gradient variation to keep things interesting.

Draycote Water is an artificial reservoir (23 million m3), which was completed in 1969. In addition to its function as a water reserve, it is a leisure park u.a. for anglers, sailors, hikers. The rich bird life invites also to observations. Swimming is not allowed in the lake.
