バーフォードセントマーチンでののおすすめグラベルライド

impressive views of Stonehenge, the world-famous prehistoric monument

これは素晴らしいルートです。32mmタイヤでもすべて走行可能ですが、最大限に楽しむためにはグラベルバイクを使用し、ポットホールのないように注意してください。

おそらく、Old Chalk Way で最も実行可能な急な登り坂です。サルズベリーまでずっと下り坂の長い未舗装路が続きます。 ただし、ライン選択が重要です。スピードバンプは間違いなくあなたを遅くします。

ナポレオン時代：19世紀初頭、この場所には木造の光学シャッター信号所がありました。これはプリマスとロンドンの海軍省を結ぶ線の一部であり、20分以内にメッセージを伝えることができました。これはGoogleが教えてくれたことです

The views from Old Sarum are highly praised and are one of the main reasons visitors come to the site. Because the castle is situated on a commanding hilltop, it offers sweeping and far-reaching views across the Wiltshire countryside. Wiltshire Countryside: You get unrivalled, expansive views over the surrounding Wiltshire plains and farmland. The ancient earthworks of the hillfort provide a perfect vantage point to take in the landscape. Modern Salisbury: From the inner castle ramparts, you can clearly see the city of Salisbury (sometimes called "New Sarum"), including the tall spire of Salisbury Cathedral in the distance. This visual link connects the historic, lost city on the hill with the modern city that grew from it. The Plains and Sky: The high, open position of Old Sarum makes it a great spot for enjoying the sky and weather, with many visitors noting the dramatic atmosphere or simply the pleasure of the open air. The ramparts, in particular, are described as the perfect place to explore on foot and take in these views. As one visitor noted, "You can see miles from the inner castle ramparts." Old Sarum itself is a historical marvel, layered with over 5,000 years of history, including an Iron Age hillfort, a Roman settlement, and the site of William the Conqueror's motte-and-bailey castle and the original Salisbury Cathedral. The views serve as a stunning backdrop to this significant historic site.

The "Fordingbridge Bridge," known as the Great Bridge, is a historic seven-arched medieval stone bridge in the town of Fordingbridge, Hampshire, England, over the River Avon. While the current structure dates from various periods, including significant 19th-century widening, the original medieval bridge was built before 1252. It remains a prominent landmark, with views of the bridge best enjoyed from the nearby park or The George pub.

Take the small path just over the entrance road to Stonehenge, on the right This leads you right oast the stones and some lovely picture opportunities. It then goes over grass to a double gate beside the A303. You need to cross over the A303 to be able to ride safely up the hill on the pathway and then cross back over at the top to rejoin the gravel. Or simply cycle uo the grass verge as I did but this is a lot more sketchy. A fantastic ride and you are only 10 mins from the end.
