ハックルコートでののおすすめグラベルライド

Rather a nice route from the train station into town

Great place to grab a coffee and get a snack. Offers lots of vegan and gluten free options as well.

It rains

Depending on the direction, this can either be a climb or an enjoyable downhill section of off-road singletrack shaded by trees.

This bridge is located along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and connects the Purton area to the wider canal system. It is a swing bridge with a control room operated by a keeper to manage its movements. The Purton site also features a historic boat graveyard, where old ship hulls were used to reinforce the canal embankment,

while mostly rideable, the bit between Purton and Slimbridge can be a bit rough and ready and I struggled on my road bike, but then I was a bit silly taking it here in the first place.

A fine country pub in the beautifully quiet Sheepscombe village. Perfect for a mid ride refreshment. Pairs well with the Cherry Glade Campsite should you decide to end your ride here.

Guiting Power is a quintessentially Cotswolds village with a superb pub and cafe to take a break. The village green is a fine spot to take in some rays if the sun is out.
