Starting point




Wiltshire
SP1 3NR

Starting at the Leisure Centre, we will ride through the Cathedral grounds towards Harnham Road where we will turn right and then first left on the Old Blandford Road. A small climb to the junction with the A354, we turn right and then left towards Homington. We then turn right and follow the road to Coombe Bissett, here we take a right turn onto the A354 and first left to Stratford Tony. We then follow the road all the way to Broadchalke where we pass the Queens Head pub and follow the road round to the right and then turn left on High Lane towards Fifield Bavant and then Ebbesbourne Wake. Following Pound Street to the Horseshoe Inn, we then take a left turn on Handley Street and another left following Ebbesborn Hollow where we start to climb. At the top there is a sharp left hand bend in the road and we now follow the Ox Drove, another left and then head back towards Bowerchalke - there is a steep descent of 12%, care is needed. We then head back to Broadchalke where we will stop for coffee and cakes at the Chalke Valley Stores & Coffee shop. Once refreshed, we will head back along the valley, turning left at Portfield Road towards Wilton. From South Street we will cross into North Street, turning left for a short hop onto the A36 - first right after the railway bridge on Kingsway and our final climb of the day. We then join the Avenue, turning left towards the crossroads - we will then go straight across and down Snakey, turning right at the bottom along Stratford-Sub-Castle returning to the Leisure Centre.
