케임브리지셔 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

저수지 주변의 훌륭한 트랙입니다. 젖었을 때 진흙탕 구간이 있고 자갈이 헐거운 구간도 있습니다. 한 구간은 꽤 울퉁불퉁하지만 그렇다고 포기하지 마세요. 좋은 라이딩이고 흥미로운 라이딩입니다. 서쪽 끝에 있는 카페는 셀프 서비스이며 차 물이 충분히 뜨겁지 않고 아내가 커피를 좋아하지 않아 지금은 피하고 있습니다. 하지만 외부 공간은 훨씬 개선되었으므로 다시 방문하여 업데이트하겠습니다.

일반적인 맥주 외에도 차와 커피도 이용 가능합니다. 화장실 훌륭하고 야외 테이블과 자전거를 위한 안전한 장소가 있습니다.

멋진 순환 트랙은 영지를 따라 6마일 정도 될 것 같습니다. 오늘 구간은 5.5마일이었습니다.

I usually do road cycling, but on this sunny day thought i would have a goo at this course as not far from home. Took some getting used to before attempting advanced courses. Ut was a great thrill

Small village really worth visiting on a bike tour with several nice houses.

The Windmill at Fulbourn stands on an outlier of the Gog Magog Hills 4 miles east of the City of Cambridge. Low chalk hills run to the south of it; northwards the Windmill overlooks the Fens which are at most only a few feet above sea level. The cap of the Windmill rises to 160 feet above sea-level and from it there is an uninterrupted view of the roofs and towers of Ely Cathedral. It has long been an outstanding landmark in the south Cambridgeshire countryside. It was the enclosure of the parish for the improvement of cultivation that led to the building of the present Windmill. Much of the land in the north of the parish was low-lying and waterlogged and needed draining to convert it into profitable arable land. Fulbourn Fen was a peat fen only 20 feet above sea level over which the Great Wilbraham River spread its waters in times of flood. The Act of Enclosure for Fulbourn was passed in 1806 and the Commissioners completed their work two years later. The drainage of the parish reduced the level of water in the upper reaches of the Great Wilbraham River on which the manorial watermill was situated. The loss of power brought to an end the life of a mill which had first been recorded in Domesday Book. In 1808 the machinery of the watermill was put up for sale. A new mill was therefore needed and the Enclosure Commissioners allotted one acre on Mill Hill, on which to build a mill and miller’s cottage, to John Chaplin, a considerable landowner and farmer. He used copies of Old Moore’s Almanack as a diary, entering personal events and business notes in the margins of the calendar. In 1808 he recorded against 11 July, ‘I laid the first brick of my mill’; 22 November, ‘Mill sails put up’; 15 December, ‘Began grinding’. It is a large octagonal smock mill with a brick base and wooden superstructure. Its outline is squat with a shallow conical cap. The fantail, as usual in Cambridgeshire mills, is close against the cap. The mill holds three stones, one of French burr and two of Derbyshire stone. With floors 24 feet in diameter, there is exceptional space for working the mill. (https://fulbournwindmill.org.uk/history.html)

Grade 2 listed . Designed circa 1841 by H E Kendall and built 1852.

A well stocked shop and pub which is the perfect place for a cycle pitstop. No worries about queues, locking up bike etc.... Bench seating outside the pub with some shade from the trees. Minimal detour even if you're on the lap of the reservoir
