Longford Old Mill

Highlight • Structure

Very scenic house opposite the old cheese factory in Longford. Now a private house so no access. It is almost obligatory for every cyclist passing to stop to admire and take a photo.

Drum Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A hill that appears deceptively harmless on elevation profiles but actually packs a kick. A challenge after a long day riding in the peaks but a manageable ascent before heading back into the flat Nottinghamshire roads.
