ストークセントマイケルでののおすすめグラベルライド

Great view and well worth the slightly steep muddy ascent.

Lovely ride - mostly quiet roads and tracks... Bath Arms good place to stop for a coffee. Good lunch in the White Hart after the ride.

This is one seriously tough climb. Mixed surfaces (grass, rocks, gravel, mud) but nothing too tricky in dry conditions. A few very steep sections, and a couple of badly positioned gates (on the steep sections!), make this very challenging indeed. One of those climbs where the combo of gradient and terrain made it impossible to change position on the bike, hence it was a bit of a back breaker. The views to the south and west from the top are fantastic.

A super cool train sculpture that is on The Strawberry Line, which is a super cool cycleway in itself.

Smooth surface climb at a steady gradient, very nice.

This route is no longer strictly accessible. It goes through a private farm with locked gates and the Stour estate which requires a permit (£10 per person)

Update April 2025 - the craters have now been filled in with hard pack gravel. Very much rideable on a road bike of any tyre size without needing to be too concerned about punctures.

This is a really enjoyable ride but the bike gates are a pain with straight handlebars.
