ライチェットミンスターとアプトンでののおすすめライド

Starting point for a nice bike ride along the beach.

nice ride

Plenty to see, but also opportunities to relax

£1 each way for a single person, I love these quirky forms of crossing. Between Sandbanks and Studland.

Hire a bike or use your second bike. Don't use your expensive nice bike along here. Reason one. High chance of it being stolen. The promenade these days has a bad element there. reason two. Sand.... Oh so much sand. And it can ruin your bikes mechanisms before you get the chance to clean it

A beautiful ancient bridge lovely views in all seasons x

The end of the line. You can either catch a ferry to the otherside or turn back.... that's it... no alternatives. 🤣

There are documentary references to the building of "A Bridge on the River Stour adjacent to the White Mill" in the year 1175. Although the bridge you'll see today is probably a sixteenth century structure (somewhat hacked around by the Victorians). It is known, from an investigation of the foundations a few years ago, that the bridge stands on timber pilings which have themselves been carbon dated to the twelfth century. This is alleged to be the oldest bridge site in Dorset. Note the bridge warning plate "Any person wilfully damaging any part of this County Bridge will be guilty of Felony and upon conviction liable to be Transported For Life by the court"
