찰튼 호레손 최고의 라이딩 경로

I always make time to pop in on my walks in this area as it is wonderfully calming and peaceful. I like to just sit and marvel at the talent of the architecture.

Great to get off of the main roads but watch out for pot holes and rough road surfaces. This road certainly needs resurfacing/fixing in places.

A fantastic climb featuring a sharp hairpin bend near the top that adds a rewarding challenge. Spotting the house ahead signals you're almost at the summit, so shift into a low gear and enjoy the ascent! The descent is equally thrilling, with smooth roads and exhilarating twists making it a cyclist's dream.

Nice place to stop for some refreshments
