ソーントンのおすすめツーリングルート

A safe and simple ride, out in the countryside.

Great straight line, best done uphill

The motorway right besides is quite noise, which disturbs the experience considerably. Also the part closer to the national bowl is a bit shabby. For the rest quite green pseudo-nature, but relaxing by bike.

An effort was made here to create a varied lake with a path around. It is quite nice, but as everywher ein the city the feeling of 'artificial' is quite strong.

A nice find off the A413 is St Nicolas Church in Lillingstone Dayrell. It's easy to miss as it is down a lane; St Nicolas Church in Lillingstone Dayrell is a captivating historical site. This church showcases a blend of architectural styles from the late 11th century to the 19th century, with Norman, 13th-century, and Victorian features. Inside, the church houses the tombs of the Dayrell family, providing a glimpse into local history. The church's serene location, outside the modern village surrounded by countryside in and near Manor Farm, enhances its timeless appeal.

Guc is great fun to ride along

Lodge Lake was created in 1981 to prevent Loughton Brook flooding the downstream area. It now has a park area that is popular as a recreational hub, especially with the Trim Trail that goes around the lake. There is parking nearby, but no toilet.

Great place to run with a mixture of path types some super fast (MK Redways) and some smaller paths. Lots of places to stop to eat, buy food and art installations.
