ヘミントン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。

私有地ですが、写真撮影のためにゲートで立ち止まることはできます

I agree with Ecce. It is the most iced up road in the area. But I cycled it today (4 Jan), carefully, and was fine. It is a lovely lane.

there is a very welcome little kiosk at the house selling ice cream etc with picnic benches.

Impressive gateway to the Victorain country house with a golf coruse. A wedding and events venue. The old Orchardleigh house was demolsihed and presrnt one built 1856 by Thomas Wyatt for William Duckworth. Pevsver describes the new house as "picturesque, irregular and in mixed elizabethan style. Grad II/ The grounds were landscaped possivly by Repton and used as a filming location for 1974 BBC The treasure of Abbots Thomas and 2009 'The Queen" and 1987 episode of Miss Marple

pitchperfect campsite

In the valley below Great Elm, a charming bridge crosses the Mells River, with a bench on the riverbank offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the views or take a refreshing dip. A layby on one side of the river provides convenient parking if you'd like to start your journey here.

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.
