Breeze to Reveley Lodge

If you'd like to practise your hill climbing, this is the trip for you! We take the train from Pinner to Moor Park, then the Ebury Way from Rickmansworth to Watford. We'll climb through Bushey to Reveley Lodge where we will have time to look at the gardens and have lunch in Mabel's Vintage Tea Rooms. We climb a little more up Windmill Lane and then descend towards Carpenders Park across the Merryhill Greenway. There are good views on a clear day. We'll take the train from Carpenders Park to Hatch End and then cycle back to Pinner.

We'll visit the gardens and tea room of Reveley Lodge in Bushey http://reveleylodge.org/

About half of the route is traffic-free and there are some hills! You need a hybrid bike, as we shall be partly on off-road routes which could be bumpy, and muddy after rain; most of the climbing is on-road.

We'll stop for about an hour at Reveley Lodge, a Victorian garden attached to a 'Gentleman's Cottage', with lunch at Mabel's Vintage Tea Rooms https://mabelsvintagetearooms.com

Bring a snack for energy before climbing the hills! Also water, an Oyster card and a bike lock.

First-timers welcome!
