Road Cycle Route: Hinterland Loop

Highlights

It’s all about the view on this challenging hinterland ride. Head north through the gorgeous countryside to Flaxton then on to Mapleton where you will begin the descent to Kenilworth. Stop for a coffee or a famous doughnut then continue through Cambroon and around to Conondale, then get ready for the climb back up to Montville. Enjoy a rest and some lunch, you deserve it!

How to get there

Stroll the high street of Montville for a spot of lunch or a sweet treat at one of the many eateries and specialty shops in this quaint hinterland town.
