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.

Belton's Hill

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.

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 …

The Giddings

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Wide road with smooth tarmac that follows the high ridge through the Giddings (Great, Little & Steeple), with open views across the country.

Titchmarsh Village Shop

Highlight • Cafe

Anything to do with the one time TV gardener? Doubtful, but you can ask inside if you like... bet they love that!
A good spot to stop and stock up.
