Starting point




Hampshire
SO51 0GT

We will leave Abbotswood and head towards Braishfield, turning into Kiln Lane and then going up to the Manor. We will continue up Parnholt Lane, taking our time, resting when we need to until we reach the bluebells in the wood. We will stop there and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the woods before slowly descending to Farley Church where we will stop for our coffee and homemade cake. We may well go inside the Church if the weather isn't suitable for us to be outside. We will then pedal down through Slackstead and Braishfield and back up to Abbotswood to the start.
