Acklamのおすすめツーリングルート

Parking for several cars, picnic benches a little bit shabby and decayed as of autumn 2025.

Go into the village and visit the whiskyshop.

Free parking with access to toilets and a cafe in the courtyard, cafe a little expensive. it's also possible to park up at the woods off the Terrington Rd which save having to use the fast road section from the obelisk

Unmissable and unfortunately not well served by public footpaths or bridleways, however, the main road has sufficiently wide verges to walk safely along. If you are heading north past the Obelisk Ponds, then there is a fantastic track on the east side of the road which is flanked by lime trees forming a wonderful avenue to walk along (see photos).

The last time I used this was the 17th April and it was very muddy in the woods as previously mentioned but it was also a mudbath after the open section across the farmland nearer to the buildings

Quite a bumpy track in the middle section. The top/north side in the woods had a bit that was unpaved and very muddy. Suitable for the gravel bike.

You can find picnic benches at the car park

The Obelisk, raised in 1714-15, carries two sets of inscriptions. The first, in Latin, commemorates the victories of the 1st Duke of Marlborough. The second, on the west side is in English, was composed in 1731 when much of the building and landscaping had been completed. It was written with posterity in mind and is the clearest statement possible of the 3rd Earl's aspirations for his family.
