Carrot Hill; the easy way!

This route is entirely on quiet back roads. Yes, it takes in the Carrot Hill viewpoint, but without the challenging climb to get there.

Don't be fooled though, there is still a fair bit of climbing to do, just a far more gentle gradient and not too long. There are other climbs on the route too, they are at times, a little steeper but not too long. This route is quite exposed in parts so the wind can make it feel tougher than it is.

We will have a stop at the Corn Kist coffee shop at Milton Haugh, approximately 2/3 of the way round this loop. Depending on the group, we will be passing the Brownie Barn at the bottom of Carrot Hill and a stop there for brownies of marshmallows or other goodies can be accommodated.

Starting from Monikie Country Park, we will take a steady but gentle climb up to the Carrot Hill viewpoint, before making out way down the other side and along to Milton Haugh Farm Shop / The Corn Kist coffee shop for some refreshment, before heading back down to Monikie.

The roads are all quite country roads with little traffic.

There will be an opportunity to stop and take in the views, take some photos, at Carrot Hill. This can be am amazing view even on a gray day. We will then have a further stop, for refreshment at the Milton Haugh Farm shop / Corn Kist.

Please bring money for the cafe but also water and snacks for en route. Please ensure you bring the minimum of a spare tube for your bike, in the correct size. Bring or wear plenty of layers, of clothing, the weather can be unpredictable at this time of year.

We never leave anyone behind
