Digswell Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

It really is a stunning view. Coming out of the road covered by canopies and there it stands with its might, stretching quite a distance. Especially breathtaking when you have the sun up and a train is passing.

Codicote to Kimpton Road Segment

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The usual ingredients: small downhill gradient, good tarmac (British standards...) and not too much traffic. This is a well known local segment and a good stretch of road to stretch your legs.

Ballslough Hill

Highlight • Climb

Use the first few hundred meters to get some speed and take it easy, as it gets steeper round the corner. You can make up speed after the second corner where it eases off.

Nine Wells Watercress Farm

Cromer Windmill

Highlight • Structure

Nice descent towards Cromer with a swinging right / left double corner which you can take flat out with the right line (but stay on your own side of the road in case of oncoming traffic around the bend).

Brill Windmill and Country Lanes

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

Decent stretch, but to balance it out, "sensational" is pushing it a bit though.

Descent on the Datchworth–Watton Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A lovely stretch of road, one of my favourites, don't forget to take in the scenery as you go by.
