Nynehead Hollow is a super cool landmark on the outskirts of Nynehead Village. The road has literally been roughly carved through solid rock, with high walls and trees growing above.

4 cycle rails alongside the wall, so not getting in the way. Plus it's undercover.

It's a great climb from The Old Quarry end, but lots of dead branches and deep leaf litter to catch you out, whichever way it's ridden.

Nynehead Hollow is a scenic lane forming part of NCN 3. It's an impressive road that has been roughly carved through solid rock, with high walls and trees growing above. The “Hollow” was said to be dug out by the Sandford family in the hope of making Nynehead Court quicker to get to from the servant houses which were situated in East Nynehead.
