Riseley to Englefield

Starting at Riseley Memorial Hall, we head via Stratfield Mortimer on pretty country lanes to Grazeley Green, then a gentle climb to Burghfield, before dropping down to Sheffield Bottom on the only hairpin bends in this area! Through Theale, and a visit to Englefield Gardens at 12 miles. (Free for RHS members or £5 cash donation in honesty box). Refreshments in the Village Shop. Our return is back over the K& A in Theale, followed by a climb to Sulhampstead Abbots. Plenty of easy miles follow as head back around Stratfield Saye are to Riseley.

A stop for refreshments at the pretty Englefield Tearooms, and a visit to Englefield Gardens. Free for RHS members, or £5 donation in cash into an honesty box. A leisurely day out so no afternoon deadlines please.

Cycle helmets are compulsory. Please check your bike the night before, chain oiled, tyres fully inflated (makes it easier!), and always carry a spare inner tube suitable for your tyre size. And preferable two! And a pump which you know fits your valve.
