Leaving from Broompark Picnic Area, we will wind our way leisurely along the old railway lines to Knitsley Farm Shop where we will stop for a cuppa and cake...and of course a natter.

We will be pedalling over decent sealed surfaces but with a mix of off and on road a hybrid bike is the best choice but a mountain bike or a road style bike with more chunky tyres will also do the job.

We will be stopping at Knitsley Farm Shop for a tea/coffee and of course, cake!
