Sample Cycle Trip Itinerary

Bicycle tours around Southern England

In order to get the very best from the attractions in this area, we concentrate on one tour, visiting all the "must see" sights via the best cycling routes. However, the length of the tour can be varied to your requirements, and can range from 1 to 5 days (or more if required).

Our most popular trip will be the 5 nights which will include:

Day 1 Arrive in Amesbury .First night at Catkin Lodge.

Day 2 To Pewsey via Woodhenge,Salisbury Plain, Pewsey Downs with its White Horse and maybe a crop circle or two. Night in Pewsey which is a pleasant County town with some good Pubs.

Day 3 via the Kennet and Avon towpath towards Honey Street and the barge Inn which is the headquarters of the crop circle fraternity and an ideal stop for lunch, with a great view of the Alton Barnes White Horse. Continue over the Marlborough Downs to Avebury. Avebury is one of the Highlights of the tour and in many ways the Stone Circle is better than Stonehenge,in that there are less people and there is free access to the stones. Avebury village, some of which lies within the stone circle has a variety of shops, a Pub anda Museum. Continue on quiet roads and canal towpath to the delightful Market Town of Devizes. Devizes has escaped much of the modernization which has spoilt so many English Towns, and consequently has retained much of its character, with many small independent shops, restaurants and Pubs. Horse Drawn Drays can often be seen delivering barrelsof beer from the Wadsworth Brewery to the local Inns. There is also a very good Museum which has a lot of information about Woodhenge, Stonehenge and a lot of the other sites on the Salisbury Plain.

Day 4 From Devizes via the Caen Hill flight of 22 locks through country lanes across the Salisbury Plain and to the ancient site of Stonehenge. Continue back to Amesbury.

Day 5 a Circular route through the very scenic Woodford Valley and to the pictures historic city of Salisbury and the magnificent cathedral.Also visit the site of the former city of Salisbury at Old Sarum. Return along the Avon river to Amesbury for last night in lodge.
