헤들리와 함께하는 애쉬포드 힐 최고의 사이클링 경로

바쁜.

This is a picturesque lock situated along the Kennett and Avon Canal on the western outskirts of Reading. On the other side of the lock is one of the Hosehill Lakes so you're granted great views in all directions.

Wakeboarding and water skiing club at the lake's edge.

The Kennet and Avon Canal runs for 87 miles (140 km) from the River Avon in Bath to Reading and the River Thames. It was completed in 1810 and then repaired between 1960 and 1990 after falling into disrepair due to the railways. Today it's almost completely leisure use with a brilliant tow-path running almost the entire length, perfect for car free miles of flat riding.

This bridge is operated by hand, i.e. muscle power

I stopped off for coffee and a toastie, good option for resupply.

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

The Kennet is a tributary of the River Thames, and features a lovely towpath section between Burghfield and Reading that forms part of NCN 4. It's a little narrow in places as it passes under bridges, but it's well-surfaced and makes for a scenic cycle. Look out for Fobney Pumping Station, Southcote Lock Bridge and the popular Cunning Man pub at Burghfield.
