Tips from the Community
Description of gravel not accurate, at on point you have to cycle around the side of a wheat field, very rutted, also nettles about 3 feet high in places. When you turn of the road on the byway it is blocked across the field with electric fences for the horses. Not a very nice ride.

Both these buildings are old the Church dates from the 14th century and the pub from the early 16th century, though some parts are thought to be older. We had a lovely night there, joining in with the Publican's family for a birthday. Just be aware the pub is only open Monday to Thursday from 1600hrs to close and they do, do meals. The room was very comfortable with a small ensuite. Love it all.

Awesome little stop to fuel up on coffee and a cake - also a full cafe menu for more options. Don't forget to visit the giant bike shop next door for bikes and repairs

Half buried in the hedgerow are the remains of a Second World War air raid shelter. It is a shelter of the Stanton precast concrete segment type. The steel reinforced concrete sections were bolted together, making a shelter of any length. The type was favoured by the Air Ministry. Why is it there in a hedgerow miles from an airfield?
