힐마튼 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

tree covered 3 mile route. easy gradient.

Ideal starting point for walk to the white horse.

A nice ride beside the river. Suspect it gets busy with walkers in good weather.

Can be muddy in the centre section but still a nice traffic free route.

Mostly well drained but this January muddy in parts. Nothing unrideable, though.

Just in front of this shop are a few rudimentary wooden tables outside and perhaps some bicycles for sale (indication of 'Bike Shop' on the window). In Belgium, this store corresponds best to a thrift store. Free in & out and at the very back of the store is a counter with thermoses of hot water and coffee. Wide choice of tea & serve yourself is the message. The toilet is located in the hallway past the counter. A bucket with a lid allows you to make a donation. You can relax on the terrace outside and with a bit of luck you can find someone there for a nice chat. (fun fact: the bikes are offered at 'astronomical prices', bidding is the message and is supposed to be done - dixit the Irishman).

Peaceful riverside cycling well away from the busy town centre roads

every day bike trip
