Abbotswood to Leckford

We will leave Abbotswood and ride through Braishfield and over the downs to Kings Somborne where Cow Drove awaits! We will take it at our own pace and rest at the top. We continue on down to Stockbridge where we carefully negotiate the High Street before turning right towards Leckford. The narrow somewhat challenging lane leads us past The Peat Spade and on to the John Lewis Cafe at Leckford, where we will enjoy a well earned rest with coffee and cake.
We retrace our steps to Stockbridge and then pedal to Houghton, Mottisfont and back to Abbotswood.

This ride is not for the faint hearted. It is a challenging hilly ride which even includes the infamous Cow Drove!

Our route takes us along mostly quiet country lanes

You will need to wear a helmet and ride a roadworthy bike which needs properly inflated tyres. Please bring tyre levers, a spare inner tube and a pump in case of a puncture. You should have water and cash/payment card for our coffee stop as well as a bike lock.
