Excellent coffee. Normally there's a spare seat to take outside while you lean your bike against the wall.

Very nice cafe, take bikes through the memorial garden and enter through the back door.

This is a bit of a hidden gem. It's quite easy to miss it, yet it has a large indoor seating area as well as outside tables and chairs. Open 7 days a week. Big choice of snacks, cakes, and coffees. Recommended.

Great little pub, very friendly staff, Very accommodating to cyclists (filling up water bottles, chatting about the route, etc...)

I believe this lane was once part of the main Bristol to Oxford road. The Saxon M4 🙂

"Malmesbury (/ˈmɑː(l)mzbəri/) is a town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. As a market town it became prominent in the Middle Ages as a centre for learning focused on and around Malmesbury Abbey, the bulk of which forms a rare survival of the dissolution of the monasteries. Once the site of an Iron Age fort, in the early medieval period it became the site of a monastery famed for its learning and one of Alfred the Great's fortified burhs for defence against the Vikings. Æthelstan, the first king of all England, was buried in Malmesbury Abbey when he died in 939." Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malmesbury

Clack Hill - maxes out at 17.5% but averages around 10% or so, makes for a fun descent!

A lovely stretch of quiet and open road with far stretching views.
