Cycling the Wenlock Downs

Wenlock Downs, Ooty

The Wenlock Downs — open, rolling grassland west of Ooty — make some of the best cycling country in the hills, with gentle gradients, eucalyptus avenues and the cinematic 9th Mile shooting point. Quiet roads, big views.

Highlights

  • Rolling grassland 'Downs'
  • 9th & 6th Mile viewpoints
  • Eucalyptus avenues

What to bring

  • Cycle (hire locally)
  • Helmet
  • Windproof layer
  • Water

Check weather — the Downs are exposed and mist rolls in fast.
