로커리 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

세인트 토마스 교회는 유명한 솔즈베리 대성당과 더불어 솔즈베리의 가장 중요한 역사적 건축물 중 하나입니다. 특히 주목할 만한 것은 성가대석 아치 위의 중세 시대 "둠 페인팅"(최후의 심판 그림)입니다. 이 그림은 영국에서 가장 잘 보존된 작품 중 하나로, 광범위한 복원 작업을 거쳐 2019년에 원래의 색상으로 다시 볼 수 있게 되었습니다. 또한 수많은 천사 조각이 있는 풍부하게 조각된 지붕 구조와 솔즈베리의 무역 역사와의 연관성도 이 교회를 볼 가치가 있게 합니다.

Lovely Ford. Quite picturesque.

"St Thomas’s belongs to the Church of England and is also part of the Inclusive Church initiative, which means that we are committed to ensure that all are truly welcome, whatever their story. ... Our beautiful building is the latest one on this site which has been used for worship for nearly eight hundred years. Most of the building seen today dates from the 15th century, and the church houses many treasures from across the centuries. St Thomas's has always been the church of the City, and the painted badges of the Guilds are still visible in the medieval wall paintings of the Lady Chapel."

"The story of this great Cathedral is a tale of defiance and ingenuity that begins back in 1218, when the Bishop of Salisbury abandoned the original cathedral at Old Sarum, and moved down to the banks of the Avon, where the Cathedral stands today. You can learn the reasons for this move and about the people who made it happen by following the new family-friendly trail inside the Cathedral."

The Moot boasts the remains of an 11th-century motte and bailey castle, the earthworks of which can still be explored today. The impressive Moot House was built in the 17th century and was host to an earthen amphitheatre where many plays, particularly Shakespeare's, were performed. It all makes for an interesting detour when running along the Avon Valley Path.

Ideal for a quick stock up of snacks if passing through the lovely village of Broughton

Old bridge Some fallen trees near by to have a picnic or quick stop about halfway point along the Portway

Very nice track to ride or walk. Can get muddy in some areas in the winter. Great views looking towards Boscombe Down over flowing / moving field crops.
