The sign dubiously claims a max gradient of 15%. My Wahoo topped out at just over 6% which felt about right.

4km long road through the heart of Thorpe Woodlands. Includes a 2.5km and a 1.25km straight, linked by a gentle curve, that are wide with a fairly even surface and sheltered from the wind by the trees: perfect for an interval session or a fast pace line.

The approach from the A1066 to the south offers a short but fast descent (max 7%) to the River Thet, a rarity in this part of the world. Watch out for the off-camber 90 degree left turn at the bottom, with a large pot hole in the middle, which can easily catch you out.

Nice location opposite the village church. There are a few tables out front where you can sit with your bike.

Great coffee and a Bacon sandwich

Great pub to stop off at on your way through. Friendly staff and locals. Stopped here twice on our cycling weekend in the area.

Scenic setting, tucked against the woods. Access is down a unmade track if you want a closer view so only suitable on road tyres in good weather.
