After riding the riverside trail along the Loddon, the Waggon & Horses pub is a perfect place for a well-earned break. The pub offers a spacious back garden right beside the river weirs, ideal for stretching your legs, parking your bike, and enjoying some riverside relaxation. Cyclists will appreciate the easy access from the path, plenty of seating, and a safe area to leave bikes while you grab a drink or snack. The garden features a large, active aviary, adding a lively touch to the stop, and the riverside location provides views of weirs, ducks, and occasional fish, giving a calming backdrop to your rest. The pub serves hearty food and drinks, making it an excellent choice for lunch, a snack, or just a coffee break mid-ride. Its position at the end of this trail section also makes it a natural checkpoint or turnaround spot before heading back along the Loddon paths.

A double sided pub.

Now do breakfast (sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, hash brown) wrap for £7.00. Unfortunately, I didn't see it until I'd ordered my bacon and sausage bap!!! Did get a staff (20%) discount on bulk buying (16) pies, though!!

Path can be very muddy after rain

The church in Shiplake was dedicated to the two Saints PETER & PAUL, also known as the "Prince of the Apostles". Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th for all major denominations. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men". In works of fine art, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship of Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other types of execution, associated with a long, painful death struggle) that was available to the citizens of Rome.

Unfortunately, closed for refurbishment but the Cozy Nook café is about 50m up Station Road (on the same side).

A great little café, even cozier when seven damp cyclists entered (followed by two more)!!
