실턴 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Can get busy with traffic but lots of side roads and walking pathetic to explore

Lovely church to stroll around with a cafe near by and walks along the river

The town is very pretty, but the roads from Carterton are blocked, and the highway doesn't even have a shoulder. It's uncomfortable and dangerous.

It's beautiful in a overrun-with-tourists kinda way, but the Deli here is excellent for coffee, food and expensive Italian ingredients that you don't need on a bike ride, but want.

This is a pretty little ford in Shilton. You can cycle through the ford if the water is safe, or use the nearby bridge if the water levels are too high.

Depending on the time of year, the transition from the road to the dirt road can be difficult to recognize due to the vegetation.

As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people commemorated here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term "dead soldiers' memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously most common "war memorial". However, such a war memorial, which one encounters so often on the road, regardless of nationality, language and name, is always a testimony - still significant and current today - to the horror of war and tyranny. They all have two essential functions, and this for each generation anew: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Remind people to keep the peace

There is parking for about six or seven cars. The pub itself is lovely. Ole worlde with exposed wooden beams and two big open fires. The food is very good and there is a large beer garden with it's own bar and resident bantams roaming around 😁 I was there on a Sunday evening and it was very busy with diners. If you are going there to eat I would recommend booking in advance. Well worth a visit.
