メルズのおすすめツーリングルート

東から西へはほとんど下り坂で、Great Elmの後は短い登りがあるだけです。静かな時間を選べば飛ぶように進めますが、家族連れが道幅いっぱいに広がり、簡単に追い越せないことに注意してください。ベルを持参しましょう。

Steep Steps down to the river and for view of the aqueduct are on the Bradford on Avon side.

Beautiful route

From Bath to here on a road bike with 25mm is doable but take it easy, further on, its a little rougher and 35mm would be better. here is a good stop of lunch or a drink

This picturesque moated medieval castle was built in the 1370s by Sir John de la Mare. It's heavily influenced by French design and features a compact layout with four round corner towers and thick defensice walls.

I did this ride yesterday. It was deliciously cool on a hot day, and condensation drips do fall from the ceiling, but no problem for us. Both tunnels were lit tho pedestrians were tricky to spot and a bell was useful. We enjoyed the soundscape. I was pleased to have a light so I was visible to those cycling the other way. We encountered a group with a wheelchair user and it was tricky to spot her for those with no lights. A great place to bring kids for an adventure.

I would second the first comment. Change of ownership makes this cafe a fantastic mid-ride stop option. Friendly owners and good food / drink at reasonable prices.
