Essendon Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Fast 40mph/65kph downhill when travelling northbound. Nice sweeping wide left turn, but careful of the right angle turn at the end. Can be easy to misjudge and go in too fast! Quiet road generally

Digswell Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

It really is a stunning view. Coming out of the road covered by canopies and there it stands with its might, stretching quite a distance. Especially breathtaking when you have the sun up and a train is passing.

Downhill to Horsepit Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Word of warning on this one as the bottom of the descent, where the road veers to the right to follow along the A1 is pretty gravelly and dusty, requiring extra attention when cornering
