패드워스 최고의 라이딩 경로

일요일 오후에 방문했는데 직원들이 정말 친절했어요. 선데이 로스트를 서빙하고 있었지만 다른 음식도 있었고, 수프는 맛있어서 라이딩을 마치는 데 도움이 되었습니다!

Quiet spot right next to Kennet Avon canal

Lovely café, now open sensible days and times. Fair prices and choices.

Found inside the lovely church of St Mary’s near Silchester. Nil desperandum - my new motto for hills

Interesting and found on the junction with church road and in front of some impressive gates. Just not sure what it is marking?

Fabulous coffee and cinnamon buns

Superb tearooms, the latte and coffee cake were delicious and very welcome. Outside tap to fill up water bottle. Toilet very clean

St Mary’s church is, as its appearance suggests, Norman (12th century) in origin and is a building of significant historical interest. There has been a church on the site for over 1000 years, the present church being built on the site of a former Saxon minster. Much of the present building dates from a major rebuilding in the 19th century. There are many interesting features including its unusual weather vane which is affectionately known locally as The Bedbug. Legend has it that its design was determined by King John, who on one occasion being prevented from reaching his hunting lodge on Cottington Hill by fog had to spend a night in the local inn where his night was badly disturbed by bedbugs! The church is open every day for visitors, for those wanting a quiet place to sit and think and for those wishing to pray. Cit. https://www.explorechurches.org/church/st-mary-kingsclere
