Gravel Trail to Westerleigh

Highlight • Trail

Where the cycle path changes from tarmac to a light gravel, strade bianche style in places next to the fields and more muddy under the trees. Really fun and beautiful way to escape the city.

Dramway Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's marked as a footpath from the northern end and bridleway from the southern end, but rest assured this is officially a bridleway and hence rideable. Brilliant compact mud and pretty wide too.

Broad Lane Restricted Byway (West Section)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The first section of Broad Lane to the west, which extends further east to road, and then on over the railway crossing into Westerleigh. Enjoy this wide doubletrack, stony and dirty and anything but level!

Batchfield Lane Dirt Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A favourite for fly tippers, and even more so for cyclists - zero cars here, and it turns into singletrack too, what's not to like!?

Cattybrook Bridleway Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A techy and challenging climb even in drier conditions, you'll need to pick your line carefully up this one to avoid the large rocks and slippery bits! I can imagine it gets pretty sloppy in winter too.

Pomphrey Hill Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A little-known bridleway alternative to a short leg of the ring road cycle path, this light gravel trail is largely wide and flat with a single narrow style (no gate) at the Pomphrey Hill end.

Tip by

30.5 km
