Country Lane in Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice stretch of country lane, with good road surface.

Tip by

41.8 km

Looks like the highest point for miles and offers the most exciting decent when heading towards Shaftesbury with a series of super fast switchbacks, it’s like a scene from a descent of Alpe d’Huez, only, shorter and not as snowy!

Compton Abbas Airfield

Highlight • Structure

This is a lovely spot with a great view overlooking Cann Common and on to Shaftesbury. It's a good climb, but worth the delights of the view.
