Belton's Hill and Barham Roller Coaster Road

Highlight • Viewpoint

A double climb, with Belton's Hill from Spaldwick only gaining 20m but with a steep gradient - a power climb - and then a dip down before the second climb …

Belton's Hill

Highlight • Cycleway

Steepest from the southern side. Not long - only climbs 25m - but the gradient steadily ramps to over 14% as you approach the summit. Best done with a short, sharp effort out of the saddle.

Stow Road Ascent

Highlight • Cycleway

Short but stiff pull up 30m of gradient on a wide road with decent surface. The descent is fun, ending with a long curving run-out to a T junction.

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.

Godmanchester Medieval Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

There’s a cycle/footbridge immediately next to the 14th century medieval stone bridge if you don’t fancy being squeezed by the traffic going between Godmanchester & Huntingdon.
