Hambledon Short

This is a starter route for novice cyclists. It is a linear route through the beautiful Hampshire countryside to Hambledon and return on quiet roads and lanes. We are only 2 miles from Waterlooville even though we come under Winchester District Council. Includes a refreshment stop at The Old Forge Tea Room (fab cakes!). Around here there are always a few hills and there are a couple of gentle hills on this route, however, you will not be left on your own at the back, there will always be someone with you and you go up the hills any way you can, even if you need to walk. It’s always easier on the way down!

Quiet Lanes and 'B'Roads. Not traffic free, but low traffic.

Stopping at the Olde Forge Hambledon (was Lotts) for tea/coffee and cake.
