Eccles Road Climb and View of Combs Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Lovely, long, steady climb with gorgeous views all the way up. Nice and quiet too, with just the odd car or walker. Once you reach the top, look left for views over Combs and Combs Reservoir.

Cowlow Lane Climb

Highlight • Trail

What a horrid climb. Relentlessly steep and a terrible surface. Hard work and then this view just before the final hairpin. Lovely.
