ロングフォードのおすすめMTBライド

A great little coffee shop to call at, the cakes are amazing 😋

Tiny and full of lovely goodies to eat and drink. Gets busy in fine weather and locates in quaint hamlet. They even have pain killers :)

Lovely fresh ice cream!

I always seem to hit this climb when I've already got plenty of miles in my legs! So it's always a challenge but a measured pace is key. Road surface is good and there's enough room for cars to get past you and not be breathing down your neck. 😉

Tissington trail

A decent longish climb up through Brassington to Longcliffe. Pretty steep through the village then keeps on giving as you leave!

One of the most celebrated events in the village is the annual Well Dressing festival, a unique and tradition that dates back centuries. What is Well Dressing? Well dressing is an ancient custom that involves decorating wells and springs with intricate and beautiful designs made from natural materials such as flowers, petals, leaves, and seeds. Some suggest the tradition began after Tissington escaped the Black Death, with villagers attributing their survival to the purity of their water supply. Pagan Origins: Another theory suggests the custom may have roots in pagan practices of offering thanks to the gods of wells and springs The festival usually takes place during Ascension Week, a religious observance that occurs 40 days after Easter Sunday.
