Typically water-logged gravel track descent from the Linton Water tower on Rivey Hill to the village of Linton. Dries up a bit in the summer months, but you'll get your feet wet in the other seasons!

This village is supposed to have various pubs and cafes to stop at. In fact on a sunny Saturday afternoon in May this was the only place open - so they should be on Komoot as a reliable stop.
