アストン・キャントロウのおすすめライド

This is one of England's tallest remaining maypoles. It is a striped pole that stands over 20 metres high. It has been present since the days of Shakespeare, and its original incarnation was made of wood (until it was struck by lightning and destroyed). The current pole is made of aluminium and is officially a Grade II historical monument listed by English Heritage.

Singing countryside lanes along NCN 5, very quiet, almost no traffic, lots of cyclist. NCN 5 goes to Bromsgrove (North-western direction) or Redditch (Eastern direction)

Good café on the way to Astwood Bank. Great range of cakes

Small hill with nice views of Cotswolds/Welford. The road surface is pretty bad in Welford direction but gets significantly better as approaches Long Marston.

Lock keeper cottage, a pretty little place

Historic Warwickshire town. Many places to stop for food and drink, or just a look around.

Lovely little independent coffee shop, excellent pit stop spot for coffee and cake!

The longest canal aqueduct in England is said to be 145m long and was built between 1793 and 1812. The iron canal is navigated by narrow, purpose-built ships and the locks are operated by hand. There is a small parking lot below the viaduct. From there you can take a staircase directly to the canal.
