If you're enjoying a view of Launde Abbey - a Christian retreat and conference centre, you're about to work for it - enjoy the climb up and out!

Lovely converted barn with a lovely garden and kids play area. Food is very good and reasonably priced. Good choice of ice creams. Can get busy on weekends especially in the summer, but still highly recommended.

On the wonderfully named "Sludge Hall Hill", you will gain around 50m of elevation over an average gradient of around 7%. (Sludge Hall itself, despite the name is a rather lovely, private country house).
