DV 2026 Segments – Abinger Lane, Rowhook Road, Barhatch Lane Segments
Overview – Distance: 80 km, Climbing: 1100 m
Café stop – Peaslake.
Rowhook Road is “New for 2026”. Rowhook is on the way to Horsham which makes this a long ride out. As the direct route goes down Whitedown and Abinger Lane is at the bottom, it would be rude to ignore it!.
Descend Whitedown and cross the A24 Guildford-Dorking Road. Enter Raikes Lane and bear left onto Abinger Lane. The segment starts at the first right bend. The climb finishes at the wrought iron gates of a house on the left named “Furzen Wood”. Descend Sutton Lane with care and turn left towards Holmbury St Mary. Continue straight to Forest Green and Walliswood. Continue on Horsham Road to Rowhook. Descend to the junction with the A29 Bognor Road. Stop and do a “U” turn.
The Rowhook Road segment starts soon after the junction and finishes at the crest of the hill by a large drive way. After the segment, continue on the Horsham Road to Ewhurst.
Turn left at Ewhurst and go towards Cranleigh. (Possible small detour for coffee in Cranleigh). Next segment is Barhatch Lane.
Turn off Brookhurst Road onto Barhatch Road. At the junction with Amletts Lane, bear right up Barhatch Lane. The segment starts 700m along at a dip in the road with railings on the right. Save some energy for the final 100m. Go past some driveways and a blue garage door. Hell awaits! Crest the climb and press on to the finish, past the junction and by the yellow road grit container on the right.
Descend to the junction with Hound House Road. As it is a dangerous descent, turn right and head to Peaslake for a welcome coffee and special sausage roll!
Head home via Shere and Coomb Lane.
