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.

Ruins of a 16th century castle that was ruined during the Civil War. Under the care of English Heritage now and free to wander around. It's an imposing site from the roadside, but getting up close to the building is advised.

Focal point of the nice town of Whitchurch. The town takes its name from the white stone originally used to make the church, way back in around the 10th Century AD. A very impressive building and well worth checking out if you have time to stop.

Mule is a bike shop and cafe in Ostwestry. As well as good coffee and food, they run group rides and other events too. Well worth checking out.

Colemere is one of Shropshire's most beautiful meres. Almost entirely surrounded by woodland and grassland, it's a haven for wildlife - keep an eye out for wildfowl and wading birds, wildflowers including a number of different species of orchid.

The pretty village of Upton Magna, with its chocolate-box cottages and smart, well-regarded pub is home to the oldest complete cottage in Europe. Grade II-listed Cruck Cottage has a thatched roofed and timber frame construction and can be found near to the church. It's thought to date from the 15th or 16th century; however, the crucks (timber frames) in the cottage have been dated to 1269.

Shropshire's lost waterways were once a hub of industry, transporting coal from Telford to Shrewsbury in the 18th century, and iron ore and limestone during the 19th century. Several feats of engineering grace the now peaceful canals, including the Trench Incline, which raised boats by some 75ft and continued working until 1921; Longdon-on-Tern Aqueduct; Berwick Tunnel - the first tunnel of a significant length which had a towpath through it - and eleven guillotine-gated locks, two of which can still be seen at Hadley Park, Telford. Today, the fine gravel of the towpaths, leisure and liveaboard boats and abundance of wildlife offers a perfect playground for cyclists, walkers and runners.

Bike repairs and sales, local routes and group rides and excellent coffee. Opening hours: Tuesday 9:30AM–5PM Wednesday 9:30AM–5PM Thursday 9:30AM–5PM Friday 9:30AM–5PM Saturday 9:30AM–5PM Sunday Closed Monday 9:30AM–5PM

Parked at the Mere £1hour for parking. Set off through the town to the canal Basin.

Built in 1769, masonry arch viaduct, crossing the River Severn.

The Quarry is Shrewsbury's beautiful, 29-acre parkland, encircled by the majestic loop of the river Severn. The Quarry has been Shrewsbury's most important site for recreation since the 16th Century. It still provides the perfect place to relax, enjoy walks, picnic, fish along the banks of the River Severn, or just let off steam.

Sandstone church in heart of Uffington, built in 1856.

Impressive church, worth seeing inside as well.

Nice wide tow path, but can get muddy and has lots of tree roots so be careful when cycling.
