Breeze to Cotfield Walled Garden

A May visit to Cotfield Walled Garden. A chance to look round Arabella's walled garden which should be in full bloom. We will also have our coffee/ tea stop there with cake and biscuits. There may even be birthday cake! We will cycle from Harestanes up to Maxton taking roads down to Lilliesleaf and on to Cotfield garden.

We will mainly be riding on quiet country roads from Harestanes with a short section on an A699 through Maxton. A few small climbs but nothing we can't manage. We will return via Standhill, Greenhouse and Old Belses taking the B6400 back through Ancrum and across the A68 back to Harestanes.

We will pause at the top of any climbs, to regroup, have drinks and snacks and to enjoy the scenery. Our refreshment stop will be at Cotfield Walled Garden where Arabella will host us. I will provide some home-baking. Cash donation to the Samaritans who Arabella raises funds for if you would like.

Please bring a well maintained bike with a helmet, tools and an inner tube for your own bike. Check the forecast and dress accordingly. A waterproof would be useful and layers are good. A water bottle and cash if you want to leave a charity donation.

We never leave anyone behind
