View of Nottinghamshire from Shelford Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Shelford Road heading out of Radcliffe on Trent heading northeast towards Shelford. It's not much of a hill but it reaches just over 60m so you get a bit of a view back towards Nottingham and over the River Trent.

Really beautifully maintained village with a lot of charm. Worth stopping for a snack by the bridge on the riverside.

Oxton Bank Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Biggest hill this side of Nottinghamshire, if you like that kind of thing. Long, slow drag from Southwell or punchy, steep ramp from Oxton.
