The cricket green on Broadhalfpenny Down is said to be the "cradle of cricket". What that means precisely is something to ponder while supping a pint in the Bat and Ball pub that sits beside it.

This cycle ride starts with an exhilarating descent from the Sustainability Centre, follows farm tracks around the back of Broadhalfpenny Down before dropping into Hambledon village. The return is via Teglease Down and Chidden Down, both offering fine views to the Isle of Wight.
