Gravel Trail to Monks Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great bit of quiet road and trail. Not really much of a climb to be fair, whether you're heading to Monks or to Lantern Pike.

Briargrove Road East Gravel Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Lovely little tree-shaded, easy-going gravel lane. Can get a bit churned up by tractors, but nothing heavy. It's gravel to the farmhouse, then gravelly tarmac. Easier than the Lantern Pike …
