ベリンズフィールドのおすすめツーリングルート

すべて順調でした

川や運河がこの国を縦横に走り、特に後者は昔は交通インフラの非常に重要な一部でした。その後、まず鉄道が、さらに後にはトラックが貨物輸送の役割を引き継ぎました。様々な交通手段の競争において、それらは艀（はしけ）に比べて速く安価であり、したがってより効率的でした。 しかし、人工水路の建設においては、常に高低差を克服する必要があることを考慮しなければならず、そのため、運河沿いには、状況に応じて、多かれ少なかれ間隔を置いて、しばしば閘門が並んでいます。それらの助けがあって初めて、航行が可能になりました。

なんて美しい村でしょう

A wonderful running route along the canal with pretty houseboats, there is almost always rowing on the canal 😃

A nice spot to watch river activity from

Beware on the cyclepath alongside the canal. You meet quite big groups of pedestrians, and dog walkers too. Some aren't very pleased to share with cyclists, so be friendly.

lots of areas to explore and lots of cycle tracks.

One of the earliest Christian sites in Britain, Dorchester Abbey stands on the site of a 7th century Saxon cathedral. The Abbey is open 365 days a year, 8am to 6pm (summer) or 8am to dusk (winter) and entry is free. Dorchester Abbey is not only one of the finest monastic buildings in Oxfordshire, with a history going back to AD 635, but is also the parish church of the village of Dorchester. The large church is all that remains of an Augustinian abbey, which was founded in 1140. It is a place of great calm and beauty which has touched the hearts of many people, whether they come to worship, attend concerts or simply to look around. Whether you come as pilgrim or visitor of any faith or none, you are welcomed to the Abbey and to the last remaining monastic building, the Guest House, home of the famous tea room and museum.
