You'll find us in the Grovely Wood car park for the day 2 Checkpoint. The brilliant Stif Mountain Bike team will be there from 10.30am - 4pm to say hi and even take a look at your bikes if needed!

Great Wishford sits in a meander of the River Wylye, beneath the chalk ridge adorned by the beautiful Grovely Wood. From the village, Grovely Road leads up to the woodland trails and is a good option for those looking to tackle some hill reps. According to an ancient custom, the residents of the village are permitted to gather firewood annually from Grovely Wood on Oak Apple Day, which is the 29th of May. The village pub, the Royal Oak, is a good shout for post run refreshment.

Grovely Wood is one of Wiltshire's largest mixed woodlands and there's loads of trail running potential here. Particularly beautiful in spring, the chalk ridge it woodland adorns is a delight all year round. This section is part of the Monarch's Way, a 625-mile (1,006 km) long-distance trail that represents the escape route taken by King Charles II after his defeat at the battle of Worcester.

Very useful water refill point with good signage.

One of the largest mixed woodlands in southern Wiltshire, situated on a chalk ridge above the River Wylye. It is recognised for its nature conservation importance through designation as a County Wildlife Site. Among the species found here is the Purple Emperor butterfly.

Good, easy to follow path with great views over the downs.

The Royal Oak open Wed to Sat 12:00 - 22:00 and Sun 12:00 - 19:00. Closed Mon and Tue.

Good shoes required from Autumn through to Spring. Stunning footpaths.

Just past the gate there's a place to fill up your water bottles (it's all signposted)

Rutty climb but worth it for the view out across the valley.

Nice place to stop for a break while taking in the view

Great cyclist friendly pub and on great on and off road bike routes

Grovely Wood is the largest woodland in southern Wiltshire, straddling the Wylie and Nadder valleys. It is a recognised conservation site and boasts a lot of history. A Roman road runs from east to west through the heart of the woodland and two Iron Age hill forts, Ebsbury and Grovely Castle, lie to the north.
