To have

Long draggy climb out of Marlborough on the A4 up Forest Hill to the Savernake Hospital - main road, and often busy, but a nice steady 6-7% gradient for a while.

Small cafe but does excellent food, cake and drinks. Quirky shop as well.

Good spot for refreshments - cycle in and have the bikes with the table.

A delightful undulating road with some expansive views.

This mixed use path, part of Sustrans NCN Route 482, follows the disused Chiseldon & Marlborough Railway. The path is almost entirely well-maintained gravel and mostly flat, with some sharp ups and downs at entry/exit points. When dry, it can be easily ridden on a road or city bike (some skills required), but if muddy and wet a Gravel bike or MTB is recommended. Traction is overall very good, but be careful on bends with loose gravel. On a nice, sunny day this is a great trail away from traffic which will put a smile on your face! Always be courteous to other path users, giving ample room to pedestrians and other cyclists.

"Malmesbury (/ˈmɑː(l)mzbəri/) is a town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. As a market town it became prominent in the Middle Ages as a centre for learning focused on and around Malmesbury Abbey, the bulk of which forms a rare survival of the dissolution of the monasteries. Once the site of an Iron Age fort, in the early medieval period it became the site of a monastery famed for its learning and one of Alfred the Great's fortified burhs for defence against the Vikings. Æthelstan, the first king of all England, was buried in Malmesbury Abbey when he died in 939." Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malmesbury

It can often be tricky to find public toilets when out for a training ride and sometimes even those are locked and unusable. It was bit a bit of trepidation, therefore, that I stopped at these toilets on Ramsbury's High Street, and my heart sunk when I tried the door to the men's and found that locked shut. Luckily, the central door in the picture to the disabled toilets was unlocked, and as I got in I found them reasonably clean. On the plus side, these are on the High Street and just in front of the Town Hall building and flanked by a well maintained garden path to the Holy Cross Church that is towering at the back (adding some drama to an otherwise mundane location), so their surroundings are likely to be kept tidy and clean unlike other more secluded locations.
