マーティンズソープでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

To build the railway here cretainly was a challenge for the engineers and builders - a lot of tunnels and slopes to overcome. In the end it looks great to see how the railway winds through this landscape.

great little place

Picks Barn is a great place for coffee and a bite to eat although it’s not open on Monday and Tuesday

A welcoming pub on the outskirts of Manton

Lots of bike racks. Great food and coffee. Outdoor coffee hut in summer months.

The bit between Manton and the nature/bird watching centre appears to have been re-stoned with a very uncycle-friendly gravel. Too big piece size and not compacted down making it a bit scary for tyres less than 40mm I would say. As walkers and cyclists are only real users, it is unlikely to get better for years.

The garden can get rammed, don't worry, there's another pub a bit further on

Now includes a cafe at Picks Barn with good coffee and beautiful views from the terrace
