チャーウェルトンのおすすめツーリングルート

great place to stop off

Edgehill Castle (Tower) which is now a rather nice pub/restaurant. The castle was built in the 18th Century as a 'sham' castle reputedly on the exact spot where Charles I raised his standard before the Battle of Edgehill during the first English Civil War. Apparently Cromwell got there too late for the battle.

strange 'castle', with nice views.

Great little climb with enough twists turns and gradient variation to keep things interesting.

Draycote Water is an artificial reservoir (23 million m3), which was completed in 1969. In addition to its function as a water reserve, it is a leisure park u.a. for anglers, sailors, hikers. The rich bird life invites also to observations. Swimming is not allowed in the lake.

Excellent 8km cycling with great views and rest areas.

Very good coffee and warm sausage rolls

Great climb. Relatively wide and good quality road. Nice views during the ascent. The road is quite exposed, so if you are aiming for a good time, ride the climb with wind from Westerly directions.
