Warninglid Village Street

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The street in Warninglid is one of my favourites. The hill ramps up as you come round the corner heading up from the south. it's manageable but you need the right gear! At the top you are rewarded with a string of lovely old houses each with a neat garden out front, and sometimes free apples!

Furnace Pond

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Balcombe Tea Rooms

Highlight • Cafe

Balcombe Tea Rooms is a hidden gem, snuck just round the corner on a
quiet unassuming road from where I rode through the quiet unassuming
village for years before I discovered it was there by riding past it on a “I
wonder where this goes?” lost lanes explore. Now they know my sandwich order. It’s been a mid-ride destination on many occasions, a life-saver on a few, we cried when it was shut on that grey damp day and it’s a proper no frills nice place to be. You can sit outside in the summer and warm up in winter while gazing out the steamed up windows wondering if the mizzle’s going to ease. They can do you a full roast dinner with a pudding adrift in custard for afters if you want, but they do a good 70km to go sarnie and the back of the cafe has a vast display of cakes to choose from, I’ve seen people crumple at the very sight. And they do proper tea in a pot, although we have to remember that proper tea is theft. They’re very cycling friendly as they sit right in the middle of the Venn diagram of those pedalling up from the south
and clubs coming down from the big city but if there’s a bunch of you it’s polite to ring and let them know, they’re also very welcoming because they know that cyclists eat A Lot. There’s no dedicated bike parking, you just leave it outside.

Ardingly Reservoir

Highlight • Climb

A stunning reservoir lake which is great to walk around. It feels like an enchanted forest, something out of a fairy tale but there is also a great downhill followed by a challenging climb, no matter your approach. Lock the bikes up and explore — it's about the adventure after all. But either way, it's a good way to get some more feet of climbing to impress your Strava followers.

Ardingly Village

Highlight • Cafe

A small Sussex village with all the vital ingredients; a good cafe, a couple of pubs, a post office... as well as one of the largest showgrounds in the Southeast of England and a scuba diving shop! The showground is a good place to teach children to ride a bike as its got several kilometres of safe sealed roads with no traffic.
