ペットンのおすすめツーリングルート

We couldn't find an entrance. Is it accessible?

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.

The great thing here in Shrewsbury is the accessible of good quality cycle lanes and trails and general traffic free areas. This cycle lane section is no exception.

Colemere's a great place to stop off for a break, there's a bench and a nice picnic lawn by the car park. It's also a very nice walk around the mere if you can spare the time on your ride.

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.

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.
