Scenic Route to Leith Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Has a couple of steep climbs but a more scenic and interesting road to the top of Leith Hill. Narrow in places then widens out towards the top

Coldharbour Lane Climb

5% average gradient, hits 20% at times. Great little climb.

The Plough Inn

Great little pub stop, biker friendly and the perfect stop after a climb up Leith hill.

17.6 km

Leith Hill South Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Quiet climb on the south side of Leith Hill. After a steep start the second half is more gentle and very pretty through the forest with lots of bluebells in the spring.

Potholes Near Windy Gap Car Park

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

The downhill section is deformed after Windy Gap carpark, take care on descent.

30.7 km

Henfold Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautifully smooth tarmac, looks like part of a racing circuit with the solid lines down the side and no central lane markings. Most cars use the parallel A24 dual carriageway so nice and quiet

Tanhouse Farm Shop

Highlight • Rest Area

There’s now an outdoor coffee truck here serving coffee and cakes. No seating during corona-times, but a huge grassy seating area. This is my go-to coffee stop now!

Great shop, perfect for a restock!

59.3 km

Perfect lane to bypass the busy road into guildford. Some blind bends so proceed with care. Can also get some queues at busy periods (afternoon rush hour seems to be worst!).

View from Newlands Corner

Highlight • Rest Area

I would certainly not recommend riding any of the roads up to Newlands Corner (especially the A25 from Dorking / Shere) during the evening rush hour. It is a very …

Leith Hill Trench Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

High sided banks where the road has been dug out of hill side makes for a Star Warsesque Trench run type of experience. Don't get carried away though, roads are narrow with some blind bends. Watch for cars.
