Another quick route for roadies on reasonable tarmac and a great pub to finish.
A very easy start leaving Frome, although take care through the lanes in Little Keyford which can become slippery during winter. The route follows good roads 'past' the Fox and Hounds in Tytherington, then right towards Trudoxhill. The road towards Gare Hill (7.4%) is the first of two climbs on this particular route, which is followed by a steady decent towards Horningsham. Remember to turn left at the top, towards Maiden Bradley, just before the road descends. The roads past Maiden Bradley are great for riding on. The convex hill out of Hitcombe Bottom on the road up to the entrance to Longleat starts steep but works out at around 4% overall.
Great ride down through the estate (although watch for traffic that will not be looking for you!) can be topped off with a pub lunch at The Horse and Groom in East Woodlands, before the easy (depending upon lunch??) ride back into Frome.
