Horses Village Switchback Climb

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a real beauty of a climb and hidden away, so it's usually very quiet. You start off with a gentle incline in the forest, which is especially gorgeous in the autumn. It opens out into the village and then ramps up out the otherside with a switchback to finish. Make sure you look to the north when it levels out as the views across the countryside are lovely.
