Drydale Bottom is a historic rural lane in Wantisden, passing through an area once home to medieval farmsteads and fields. The road offers wide open views of the surrounding countryside, making it a fantastic cycling route.

Great path

Created for the Millennium, a superb steel sculpture in the parish on the road to Butley. It shows St Andrew the fisherman, with a catch of herrings and eels. At his feet is the church, which is now the only church in the parish of Capel St Andrew. It bears the date 1539, when Butley Priory was dissolved.

A dead end for roadies but a scenic approach across the marshes towards the huge shingle bar that protects the coast.

It's a dead end for roadies as there's only one tarmacked road to it but it's a nice ride and there's the Tinto Café horsebox at the car park, which does hot drinks, sandwiches and toasties, cakes and snacks. Officially it closes at 4pm but it was still serving at 4.30 when I was there, thankfully.
