Dinnington Hollow Way

Highlight • Viewpoint

A wonderful Hollow Way or a sunken lane typical of this area of the country. These ancient lanes are cut into the landscape but we're not entirely sure why. It could be simply due to erosion by booth people and animals over 100s of years, exacerbated by water run off. They may also have been cut initially to make animal heading easier and to provide protection from the weather. What ever the cause they make for very atmospheric riding!

Stop Line Way – NCR 33 Shared Path

Highlight • Trail

My favourite section of the stopline way, an easy chilled ride, particularly stunning in the summer but monumentally busy exactly when you think it would be.
