Via de English Bridge bereik de Shrewsbury Abbey

Great little place. Helped me out with a new pedal when mine broke.

Great bike shop at the Oswestry car park where you can get your bike fixed and serviced. Good café where you can talk to fellow cyclists. They also do a weekly cycle ride from here every Sunday morning.

A bike shop that serves coffee and cakes.

St Alkmund’s Church is a captivating Grade I-listed building. Founded in 912 AD, the church was initially built of white stone, which is why the town is called Whitechurch. However, in 1711 the tower collapsed and had to be rebuilt in red sandstone ashlar, which is why the ‘white church’ looks a little redder than you might expect.

The Mere at Ellesmere is the largest of Shropshire's nine Meres and it is a stunning one at that. It hosts woodland walks, gardens, ice-creams, a café/restaurant and is a haven for wildlife such as Swans, Ducks and Herons. A perfect place to take a break from your ride.

There have been several churches built on this site. The church was first founded in around 1155 but fell into disrepair and the present building was built in 1856. Not the oldest of churches by any means but still a very nice modest replacement for the godly flock of Uffington.

I often stop at the boat house café. Great lakeside view with loads of ducks, geese and swans, including feral ones. Great place to sit outside for a drink or meal, they even have an outdoor sofa.
