템스포드 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

I choose not to stop for coffee and cake as it's a little expensive and they don't accept cash. Their business so it's up to them but I choose to go elsewhere where they do accept coin of the realm.

"The church of St Lawrence in Willington is situated to the west of the village, close by the National Trust properties of the Willington Dovecote and Stables. Limited parking is available by the roadside outside the church or in the Dovecote car park." It's a very nice place. I enjoyed relaxing and taking a portion of peace of mind.

Traffic free NCN route through the countryside, very easy riding.

The cycle path along the top of the dam is wide and flat and gives great views across the reservoir. Reach it from the Visitor Centre at the northern end although access at the southern end is trickier as you have to squeeze through a narrow gap next to a locked gate by the main road.

Great peaceful place to make a stop on your ride for coffee or drink.

The valve tower at Grafham Lake homes the controls that operate the opening and closing of the gates/valves allowing the reservoir water to be correctly regulated. The tower was built in the 1960s and resembles something of a spaceship!

Good cafe usually busy but plenty of space for bikes and a playpark for youngsters. Great crazy golf course due to open May 2023.
