Tarrant ValleyDescending just 55m over its 12km length from Tarrant Gunville (ST 926 128) to where it joins the River Stour at Tarrant Crawford (ST 915 033), the Tarrant Valley is typical of the gently undulating landscape that has developed on the chalk of the eastern side of the county. The cycle ride in March shown in this gallery follows the quiet lane that runs along the length of the valley bottom, the route ascending gently, passing through the many small Tarrant villages before climbing onto the chalk down at Stubhampton (ST 920 135). | ||||||||||||||
