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.

Icknield Way Trail – Pegsdon Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Wide, hard-pack trail between the trees. Several gnarly roots poking through so keep your eyes peeled! With either direction on this track, there is a climb to get over Telegraph Hill.

There's a steeper incline on this segment, which makes for a great flowing descent if you are heading NE toward Pirton. Alternatively a good climb heading SW, steady does it!

Caution at Pirton Road at the bottom, it's a close-pass waiting to happen, so use the track at side of the road then nip straight over to Wood Lane.

Good single trail track through Knocking Hoe wood. Suitable for MTB and gravel bike, the surface is really good and not too rocky.
