Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Good for families - rubber/aggregate mix surface, flat and safe, pretty fast under the tyre and far nicer than bath road

Nags Head Lane

better on a slightly wider tire as road can be bumpy - Turn left at the end to bypass Hapmton Hill to Minchinghampton, or continue straight to miss the hills and fast cars towards Tetbury.
