A central pond, thatched cottages and a sense of peace, Ashmore is a wonderfully pretty village to pedal through. It's actually the highest in Dorset – too high for time to have caught up with it, as it rather feels like stepping into history.

A really nice, relaxed village to ride through with a surprisingly quiet up-and-down valley that you'll ride through afterwards.

Beautiful village and great place to stop for a coffee from a vending machine in a barn!
