Let's climb to Wentwood

This definitely isn't a flat ride. We head out of Caerwent and start off with about 4 miles of flat roads to get our legs warmed up before we start to go up. It's the longer, gentler climb up to Shirenewton before the road climbs again as we leave the village. Then the road levels off around Earlwood and we even get a downhill rest before the final steady 3 miles that take us up to the top of Wentwood forest.
Then it is mostly downhill (with a couple of uphill blips) as we head for a well earned lunch at the cafe in Parc Seymour.
After a break, we have a short sharp climb before heading downhill along Bowden's Lane. At the end, we turn and head back along St. Brides valley before turning and heading over Carrow Hill and Highmoor hill (these are blips at this point!). Then it's a nice downhill rest before a final little push back to Caerwent and the car park.

A circular loop to Wentwood forest with plenty of up! About 1800ft in fact.

The majority of the route is on quiet country lanes with a short section of cycle path near the start.

We will stop at the coffee lodge in Parc Seymour for lunch. We will also stop for a brief respite at Cadira Beeches car park at our highest point.

Please wear a helmet and bring along some money and a lock for our lunch stop. It is also a good idea to carry a spare tube just in case.

We never leave anyone behind
