グラインプトンでののおすすめグラベルライド

Great ride can be quite busy at week ends

Do not do if it has been raining for a while as the tracks are full of deep mud and the fields are full of water unless you have some big mtb tyres.

Most of the gravel has been removed recently, making the lane a little bumpier than usual. Nonetheless great little car-free lane!

great for gravel and views

Built in the late 1730s it is a significant and very early example of a ferme ornee and these days still serves as a shelter for a herd of rare cattle. On one side the arched alcove in its tower contains a seat from which to take in the view across the fields outside the garden wall. It’s listed by Historic England as Grade 2*.

Great singletrack with smooth mud-free surface.

A good spot for a bit of wild swimming. This section of the River Cherwell, just off the canal, is very calm and private. Great to cool off on those hot rides, or it's also just nice to sit by the banks and take a rest.

A fine lock and a great place to sit and watch the boats go by. The shared walking and biking path next to the lock is smooth hardpack gravel so suitable on any bike type.
