West Hanger Singletrack

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Less muddy, quieter and more scenic diversion off the main path between Newlands Corner and West Hanger. If coming from the Newlands side just turn right at the Nature Reserve …

11.5 km

Pilgrims' Way Path, Surrey Hills

Highlight • Viewpoint

Worth a detour for the scenery. Lines up to the bottom of the Newlands Climb highlight

12.2 km

St Martha's Hill and Church

Highlight • Climb

Busy at the weekend with dog walkers, better to ride mid-week.

Sandy Descent at Thetford Commons

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Lovely little sandy descent from the monument.

Tip by

15.6 km

Quite fast but has a few blind corners so keep an eye for people (and horses!) coming the other way! Great in the dry, can get a bit boggy after rain.

32.4 km

Shere Drop, Dark Lane Singletrack

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A great rutted singletrack descent into Shere. It's rideable on most bikes all year round, but probably only doable on a MTB in winter!

32.8 km

River Tillingbourne Ford

Highlight • Bridge

Could probably cycle through if you haven’t just washed your bike! There is a footbridge if you don’t fancy it.

Shere Descent – A25 Drop

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Be warned, this descent gets steep and technical very quickly. Even experienced MTB riders would find it pretty hairy on a gravel bike!
