Bath Lane Gravel Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Surface is tightly packed gravel and holds up well through bad weather. Would be doable on a road bike but the surface is uneven at the Northern end of the segment.

Bodkin-Hazel Lane Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A bridleway through fields. It's a little bit rutted at the Highfield Lane end and is probably very muddy here in winter... it soon improves after a short distance though.

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Fantastoc back lane through mature trees, with bluebells (at the right time of year!)

Tip by

19.6 km

A short off-road byway that links the two lane leading south out of Leighterton. Fairly solid, though a little slippery and some largish puddles in winter or after a lot of rain. Only suitable for big tyres... especially in winter.
