로더필드 최고의 라이딩 경로

의도적으로 높은 울타리와 벽으로 둘러싸여 있어서 외부를 멀리서 보는 것조차 입장료를 내야 하기 때문에 어떤지 전혀 모르겠습니다.

Very picturesque village with excellent "Tulip" café right opposite the church

Ignore the pubs and go here instead

While the oldest record of a church in this village dates back to the 12th century, the oldest parts of the current one, listed as a Grade II listed building, date from the 13th century. However, the nave had to be reconstructed in the 17th century after being struck by lightning.

This station has its own signal box and old-fashioned semaphore signals, which is quite interesting. The Spa Valley Railway passes through here.

Mayfield predates the Doomsday book and according to the sign in the village got its name from a clearing in a field created by early ironworkers where Mayweed grew. The town’s relationship with the devil is well documented. St Dunstan (who was the Archbishop of Canterbury from 960 to 988AD) was working as a blacksmith in the village when, disguised as a beautiful woman, the devil tried to lead him astray. But spotting the devil’s cloven hoof, St Dunstan pinched the devil’s nose with a pair of red hot tongs. The devil fled and soothed his nose in the springs of the nearby Tunbridge Wells. The tongs are apparently available to see at Mayfield School but first, you have to get into the school!

Mayfield is a beautiful historic village with most of the high street houses dating back hundreds of years. The village has all the amenities that you could possibly look for as a cyclist, but even without the need for a cup of coffee, it is worth stopping here. Beautiful!

Nice road as you see many in this area. Quieter than the main roads, but not completely car-free like some of the really small winding roads that you will find here.
