Local Cycle Network 23

A collection of 3 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

A handy, mostly paved route that links quiet streets with a few busier stretches and some dedicated cycleway. Expect smooth asphalt for most of the way, with the odd patch of paving stones and short pedestrian areas. It’s rideable in either direction and easy to join from multiple points, so it works well for everyday trips or a casual spin.

Do plan for a bit of up and down—there are some noticeable climbs and descents. The quieter sections feel relaxed; on the busier links, ride assertively and use lights for visibility. If you prefer a calmer roll, aim for off-peak hours or detour onto parallel back streets where available.

In short: mostly asphalt, mixed road types (quiet roads, standard road sections, some access roads), plus a decent slice of cycleway. Good for confident riders and commuters looking for a direct line with options to keep it mellow.
