What to expect
A short, level asphalt path with no gradient to speak of. The smooth surface is ideal for road bikes and children's cycles.

Good to know
- Dogs welcome (keep under control near livestock & wildlife)
- Open to cyclists
- Firm/surfaced — more accessible going
This is a very short route—perfect for a quick outing rather than a longer ride. Being so brief, it works best as part of a wider cycle exploration. The asphalt remains in good condition year-round. Dogs are allowed but should be kept under control, especially in spring and summer when ground-nesting birds may be present.
