웨스트 래빙턴 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Very beautiful and pleasant

I don’t usually like audio guides but this was really well done. Interesting castle history, but also the characters and stories. And the chapel at the end is an excellent finale. I spent almost an hour here. No cafe but you can get tea/coffee/ ice cream. A good stop!

Steep Steps down to the river and for view of the aqueduct are on the Bradford on Avon side.

Yeah unless you're a sicker for punishment this is proper gravel and should be ridden on 40mm+ tyres for best enjoyment. Some pretty steep inclines, it's not a flat ridgeway.

Lovely views to the River Avon across this historic bridge. Dating from the 13th or 14th C

the point at which the Kennet and Avon canal crossed the river and railway line via the Aqueduct built by John Rennie & John Thomas between 1797 and 1801. Good pub here which will reopen summer 2025. This is on the main railway line now becoming a regular (request?) stop since 2011

From Bath to here on a road bike with 25mm is doable but take it easy, further on, its a little rougher and 35mm would be better. here is a good stop of lunch or a drink

Amazing for autumn colours

Outstanding views and the perfect place for a midride picnic or chill.

An awesome place to visit anytime of year, a really nice vibe. Many names carved into the trees and some of them are very old.

Great Day Out on Sailsbury Plain

A must do off road tour

Small swing-bridge on a scenic and peaceful stretch of the Kennet & Avon Canal, close to the village of Semington.

Stunning, nice gently rolling gravel road with climb and descent options. If approaching from the east or the west (i.e. trying to stay on the hill to connect to Grovelly or Monkton Deverill) please be aware that the byways entering are not so much fun as the wood itself.

Bridge No 163 on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Bridge No 165 on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Who says England doesn't have gravel? (just ignore the Pertwood section). Sherrington wood/Great Ridge is a bit lifeless compared to Grovelly wood over the way, but offers a more durable surface to spin through.

While it is a gradual descent it remains pretty pedally for the first hundred metres. The rut isn't actually that deep its just hard to get going initially. Longer than expected. Get a bit of speed up and you'll fly through it. Only attempt this West-East or you'll be cursing your route planning. Couldn't see the track to the north so had to cross the road, nice easy drop off to get you going on the other side.

If you are sensitive to stingers, watch out for this one. It's a gradual descent so you can easily pick up speed on this narrow section. Enjoy the smells as you jostle past all the plants!

Great canal path for family cycling!
