Nice rollercoaster leading up to the short and sharp final ascent. Narrow road with not great visibility. Watch out for traffic coming towards you. I kinda think it’s more fun going Farley to Somborne 😛

Striking Grade II Listed Building in the heart of Kings Somborne.

Kings Somborne is a pretty village in the Test Valley, characterised by the clear Somborne stream that runs through it. It has a rich history with around 100 listed buildings.

Peaceful stretch of path alongside Hogtrough Wood. Part of a new cycling path through North Baddesley and Valley Park.

This cafe is permanently closed now. No longer exists sadly.

Short sharp half kilometre rise from Dores Lane up Merdon Castle Lane. Grades briefly exceeding 10%.

A sheltered bus stop ornated with a mosaic with an animals and nature theme. The 16 tiles are each have a different style, often resembling a child's drawing, and subject, and yet are all connected by coloured "ribbons" that give the mosaic a feel of continuity.

"The oldest parts of the Church of England parish church of Saint Stephen in Sparsholt are also 12th-century. Early in the 13th century it was enlarged by adding a south aisle and arcade to the nave. The chancel was rebuilt in the 14th century. The chancel arch, west tower and some of the windows are 15th-century. The south doorway was added in 1631. The organ screen and lectern are also 17th-century. The church was restored in 1883 under the direction of the architect William Butterfield. It is a Grade II* listed building. The west tower has a ring of six bells. Until the 20th century it had only four bells: a treble, third and tenor cast in 1742 by Robert Catlin of Holborn and a second cast by Thomas II Mears of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1829. Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry recast the three Catlin bells in 1905. In 1951 the same founders cast a new tenor, increasing the ring to five. In 1995 the Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast a new treble bell, increasing the ring to six." Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparsholt,_Hampshire
