As of June 2026 the road has been gravelled over between Cross Lane and Mortimer Road, a no-go for road bikes :(

Visited on a Sunday afternoon, staff were absolutely wonderful. They were serving Sunday roasts but also had other food available, the soup was delicious and helped us complete our ride!

Saint NICHOLAS, Bishop of Myra, to whom this church is dedicated, is one of the most popular saints of all - along with Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours in France. Almost every child knows his commemoration day in the calendar of saints, December 6th. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots - which had of course been carefully polished - in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put a small gift of food out for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

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

Although a church has stood here since the 13th century, this one dates from the 1830s after the original building was taken down. It is said that Queen Anne and Queen Mary worshipped here as parishioners before being crowned.

Our local NT place we go here often. Morgaston woodland walks out of the back gate where you will also find a hide overlooking wetlands. Secure bike parking limited. Suggestion attach to wooden fence by reception and we will keep an eye on it but can’t be responsible. Highlight for us in this house is the chapel. Lovely lake but rebuilding work to a bridge in progress at the moment

Memorial cross just outside the village of Monk Sherborne. The writing at the top of the plinth says "In Memoriam", in the central part the dates "1939 - 1945" are etched, together with the names of 12 men, and at the bottom the sentence "Greater Love Hath No Man Than This".
