Cycle Track Through the Interior Villages
Quiet lanes and gravel links between small settlements
This one runs inland, away from the coastal paths. It links a handful of small villages on quiet lanes and short gravel sections, and the ground stays low the whole way. That keeps the gradients gentle and the wind off your back for most of the ride. It suits a half-day on a bike or a longer walk with stops in the villages along the route.
Surface
Compacted gravel for the links between villages, worn asphalt on the lanes themselves. Nothing loose enough to slow a steady pace, but the gravel sections are rougher after rain.
Shade and wind
Tree cover around the villages gives shade in stretches, then opens up between them. Because the route stays on low ground, wind exposure is limited compared with the ridge or the shore.
Access
You can join from any of the villages along the way, which makes it easy to cut the route short or extend it. No single fixed start point, and no gate to arrange.
