Good fast cycling, undulating topography but generally good. Watch the road surface. Lovely woodland either side.

Beautiful very tall, majestic Redwood trees. Road surface is not the best, pot holes but a great place to cycle.

Just to note that this small section of trailway has some looser stones which will be unsuitable for slimmer (road bike) tyres but the further you travel West towards Ringwood, the surface becomes more forest like and therefore more pleasant to ride on.
