This area of Hampshire boasts a decent collection of UCR's, and Woodcote Lane is no exception. A nice wide lane on a firm, unrutted earthen and occasionally grassy surface, even a shiny Discovery 4 would be safe on this lane!

Starting just north of the hamlet of Upham, this very easy-going lane strikes north from a country road and heads north-east in almost a straight line, following the contours of a low hill to it's east. At a couple of points it offers a great view over rolling countryside to the west. Woodcote Lane ends, aptly given its name, at Woodcote Farm. If only it were longer, but with that said it is very easy to combine driving this lane with Little Woodcote Lane for a more enduring experience.
