Bank Café, Alrewas – Route Description

This route is a relaxed and sociable ride through the quiet lanes and countryside around Alrewas, finishing at the ever‑popular Bank Café for well‑earned refreshments.
Starting in Mere Green, the ride follows mostly flat to gently rolling terrain, using quiet country roads and pleasant rural stretches that are well suited to confident beginners and steady social riding. Traffic levels are generally low, making it a great option for riders looking to build confidence or simply enjoy an easy, conversational pace.
The route passes through attractive Staffordshire countryside, with open fields, village scenery, and a calm, unrushed feel throughout. Any short rises are gradual and taken at a steady pace, with regrouping points used to keep everyone together.
We finish at the Bank Café, a favourite local stop, where riders can enjoy coffee, cake, and a good chat before heading home.
