Quiet Lane to Hexton

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A quiet lane with a generally good surface, occasional potholes but you can find a fast pothole free line.

Hex Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A local legend! Steep and straight, you'll know you've been up a hill! Great views from the top though.

Hexton Road to Lilley

Highlight • Cycleway

A nice section of relatively quiet road north of Lilley. It's undulating rather than hilly and very nice to avoid the busy A6 or A505 which I wouldn't recommend.

I can't actually remember whether it's right here or just round the corner on Plough Lane or Parsonage Lane, but this is just like a film set. Worth a detour & a snap.
