벨비데 저수지 최고의 사이클링 경로

In the search for a worthy patron saint for this church, the Archangel Michael was initially chosen, whose name (derived from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". However, it was then apparently decided that it wouldn't hurt to significantly increase the number of intercessors before God's throne for this church and its parishioners. Thus, the idea arose not to choose just a single patron saint, but to extend the patronage to the entire heavenly host (i.e., "All Angels").

The Monarchs Way will run on a permissive path through farmers fields, avoiding the official route along the lane. I may not have been paying attention but I saw no exit from this path and before I knew it, I was in an area marked "ticket holders only". The only way out was through the gift shop!

Pay attention to the maps, as its not directly on a footpath. You walk very close on the Monarchs Way but its easily missed.

Great little stop for a beer

Nice resting place with a bench

The present Church of St Nicholas is of Norman origin but was lengthened in the 14th century. The Perpendicular style tower was added around 1460 by the Earl of Warwick but he didn't get round to finish the job and top it off with a spire. Being an Earl must be a tad busy I guess!

Hartley Arms at Wheaton Aston is rather splendid. It's right on the canal for those who like to mix up road and towpath on a ride.
