アッシュウェルでののおすすめライド

There’s also the Cock Inn a few yards down the road.

Random village pub, no reason to stop.

War Memorial on former airfield worth a few minutes stop.

Great views southwards towards Eyeworth & Dunton.

Really cycling-friendly cafe: good food and coffee, drinking water tap, bike racks with plenty of space. Only thing I'd say is that the portions are a little small for the price.

It’s good. Coffee is excellent as is the sausage rolls.

carrot cake is particularly excellent.

Crosses over the trackbed of the old Oxbridge railway line. Real boneshaker of a surface on this lane. Take care, particularly if riding it downhill.

Perfect cyclists' (and walkers') cafe. Great coffee. Even better sausage rolls. Good local roads.

Accessible loo

Pleasant if unexceptional little village. There's a pub but no cafe or shop.

The church is in front of the Waggon & Horses pub

There’s also a memorial to the Canadian pathfinder bomber crews that flew from RAF Gransden Lodge, which was situated here, during the war.

Random and cool little Windmill at the top of this climb

10% average maybe. My Garmin registers 15% on the steepest bit. Thankfully short.

On-site Cafe, Butchery, Farm shop and of course, a Cheese deli. I had a lovely latte and home made Victoria sponge. Looking at the menu it caters for breakfast and lunch. Closed Monday and Tuesday

Unfortunately it’s only a fairly short stretch - a couple of km - that has the smooth new tarmac but the rest of the surface between Eyeworth and Ashwell isn’t too bad compared to many.

"The 17th century windmill is owned by Cambridgeshire County Council and is the fifth oldest post mill in the country. The mill is a scheduled monument, one of 15 monuments owned by the County Council. Post mills are one of the earliest types of windmill and are based around a central pole, which meant they could be turned to catch the breeze." Something to enjoy 👀 - if it was working in a day like today with SW 🌬 @27 km/h would b efficient. (Not great for cycling, though).

Great place to dip your feet after the ride!

Fantastic café stop. Really cycle friendly. Good prices.
