シップボーンのおすすめライド

Alternative pit stop close to Ightham Mote National Trust Cafe.

Lovely relaxed gravel ride along ex-rail line that is shaded tree lined and vehicles free except at few minor road crossings. Benches every now and then to for rest up and snacking. Just be considerate

Mostly rolling terrain, well sealed and only local traffic so not overly congested

Picture perfect on a summers day, come out this way and enjoy the beauty of the Weald

Whichever way you've come up to get here you'll have done some climbing, so make sure to enjoy the epic views out over the High Weald and Ashdown Forest. Especially if you came up Kidd's Hill (the Wall), one of the top 100 UK climbs. Usually quiet, with a great road surface, it's a cycling paradise.

Ashdown forest is a mixed bag for me. There are few roads across it and those that there are tend to be a bit busier and faster than I would like. But the views over the forest are pretty good - and of course there are some decent hills - particularly Kidd's hill.

Fantastic views! Worth coming here for the feeling of being far away from urban life.

Amazing food, beef tartar, lamb, panna cotta were delicious.
