Abingdon Cycling
Wide open spaces and smiling faces...
Abindon is right on the doorstep of The North Wessex Downs, which offers a spectacular and unique landscape that lies at the hub of the chalk landscapes of southern England.
It embraces the high open sweeps of arable farmland of the Marlborough Downs with their beech wood topped knolls and sheltered chalk river valleys, the intimate and secluded woodland of Chute and Savernake Forests, and the low lying land of the Thames Basin Heaths with a rich mosaic of woodland, pasture, heath and common land.
With an abundance of bridleways and cycle legal trails graded as green (easy) and blue (moderate), it is an ideal place to develop your off-road cycling skills. Or if you're an experienced mountain biker, you can just go for a really fun ride!
There are bike shops in Marlborough, Devizes, and Swindon.
How to get there:
The North Wessex Downs AONB lies between Swindon, Reading and Basingstoke, straddling two counties. Crossed by the M4, A34 and A345, and railway (passing through from Newbury to Trowbridge), the area is easily accessible to visitors.
