ロザーフィールドでののおすすめライド

Recommend this place,. Nice scenic. Can be busy at rush hours

Great place to walk or cycle

Ignore the pubs and go here instead

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.

This station has its own signal box and old-fashioned semaphore signals, which is quite interesting. The Spa Valley Railway passes through here.

Mayfield predates the Doomsday book and according to the sign in the village got its name from a clearing in a field created by early ironworkers where Mayweed grew. The town’s relationship with the devil is well documented. St Dunstan (who was the Archbishop of Canterbury from 960 to 988AD) was working as a blacksmith in the village when, disguised as a beautiful woman, the devil tried to lead him astray. But spotting the devil’s cloven hoof, St Dunstan pinched the devil’s nose with a pair of red hot tongs. The devil fled and soothed his nose in the springs of the nearby Tunbridge Wells. The tongs are apparently available to see at Mayfield School but first, you have to get into the school!

Mayfield is a beautiful historic village with most of the high street houses dating back hundreds of years. The village has all the amenities that you could possibly look for as a cyclist, but even without the need for a cup of coffee, it is worth stopping here. Beautiful!

Nice road as you see many in this area. Quieter than the main roads, but not completely car-free like some of the really small winding roads that you will find here.
