コンプトンバセットのおすすめツーリングルート

A nice ride beside the river. Suspect it gets busy with walkers in good weather.

Can be muddy in the centre section but still a nice traffic free route.

Treat yourself after a spicy climb to an amazing view out towards the plains and beyond.

Great fun, the landfill site is a bit weird when it peeks out over the hedge but I didn't smell anything to be honest. Some sections are windy singletrack while others are wider firm gravel.

The Caen Hill Locks are one of the highlights of Route 4 on the Avon K Canal. Physically this is interesting. The water flows down the mountain, but the ship floats up the mountain lock by lock due to its own buoyancy.

Mostly well drained but this January muddy in parts. Nothing unrideable, though.

Just in front of this shop are a few rudimentary wooden tables outside and perhaps some bicycles for sale (indication of 'Bike Shop' on the window). In Belgium, this store corresponds best to a thrift store. Free in & out and at the very back of the store is a counter with thermoses of hot water and coffee. Wide choice of tea & serve yourself is the message. The toilet is located in the hallway past the counter. A bucket with a lid allows you to make a donation. You can relax on the terrace outside and with a bit of luck you can find someone there for a nice chat. (fun fact: the bikes are offered at 'astronomical prices', bidding is the message and is supposed to be done - dixit the Irishman).

Nice summer stop with shadowed benches
