Product Description
Book Description
Explore the beautiful county of Shropshire with the help of this collection of cycle rides of varying lengths. Mainly on quiet roads, trails and towpaths, the routes range in grade from easy rides for families with young children to day-long trips for energetic cyclists. There are useful chapters on Shropshire, wildlife and plants, and places of particular interest as well as advice on preparation for cycling. Each ride is described with easily understood symbols and explanatory narrative.
From the Publisher
Shropshire is sometimes thought to be one of England's quiet counties - but there's still plenty to see and do - and what better way to see as much as possible than by bicycle. Dave Hancock has compiled a selection of cycle rides of varying length, and graded from easy rides for families with young children to day-long trips for the more energetic.
Each route offers something different. Visit some of Shropshire's many traditional market towns including Shrewsbury, almost surrounded by the river Severn and birthplace of Charles Darwin; the miniature Lakeland of meres and mosses around Ellesmere - a haven for wildlife where you might be lucky enough to see otters, dormice, hares, bats, dragonflies and waterfowl; the numerous hillforts giving clear evidence of the iron age, Offa's Dyke built by King Offa in the 8th century, the longest archaeological monument in Britain; Whittington Castle and Bishop's Castle, and much more!
The directions and instructions are presented in easy-to-follow table form with mileages between key points and details of signs, junctions and turnings, plus easily understood symbols and explanatory narrative.
Dave Hancock lives in Oswestry; he is a freelance journalist and a keen sporting and pleasure cyclist.
