Roman road to Box Hill - GPX Route
Ride Level: Blue - Moderate
Gravel/CX MTB | GPX Route | Natural, Gravel and Single Track | 30 km/19 miles | 4 to 5 hours
A hilly blue route but nevertheless fun to ride, catch the train to Epsom and ride out to Box Hill, not to climb the famous zig-zag road but the lesser-known but equally exhilarating gravel climb. Stop at the viewpoint for glorious views of the Weald before winding your way back across the Surrey heaths to Epsom
