Descent to Kimbolton

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Wide, straight, unobstructed road with a steady gradient and a decent road surface that flattens into a long run-out rather than a sudden T-junction so you can really descend confidently …

View of Kimbolton Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Best view of Kimbolton Castle - actually a stately home rather than a castle and now part of Kimbolton School.

Tip by

23.8 km

Kimbolton is one of the smallest towns in Cambridgeshire, but was a very important market town during the medieval period. As a result the town's High Street boasts over 80 listed buildings and retains much of its original historical character.

Great ride today a little bit of wind but was not that bad. Stopped at Em’s Bistro at Emmanus village Carlton for quick coffee we had a cool chat with a cyclist there. Then onward we go. #brilliantride✅ #gratefulheart💜💡
