쉬운 웨스턴 온 에이번 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Nice flat route

Ridden in early Feb. First half (ridden south to north) muddy with lots of shallow puddles. Those riding on slick tyres will no doubt feel some wheel slippage, and all should be prepared to get somewhat plastered with mud if riding this route when wet.

This is one of England's tallest remaining maypoles. It is a striped pole that stands over 20 metres high. It has been present since the days of Shakespeare, and its original incarnation was made of wood (until it was struck by lightning and destroyed). The current pole is made of aluminium and is officially a Grade II historical monument listed by English Heritage.

A recent "renovation" has covered half the Greenway (the half closer to Stratford) in loose pea gravel. It is an uncomfortable and unstable ride and very frustrating compared to the much nicer second half, even if the second half is narrower and has a few potholes here and there. Best to come prepared for that.

After a wet winter all non roads very wet be prepared my Brompton coped very well but I got wet feet

Lovely views off the bridge with Suppe reflections in the river below

Nice little spot to stop for a quick bite to eat.

Stratford Greenway is a former railway (the Honeybourne Line) transformed by Sustrans into a surfaced, multi-user path. Traffic-free other than a few road crossings, it runs for 5.3 miles (8.5km) from Stratford-on-Avon train station south through peaceful countryside to the village of Long Marston.
