Overview

A gentle undulating 10 mile route either side of the B3400 through varied countryside: includes the Laverstoke Estate, outskirts of Overton, the source of the River Test and pretty hamlet of Deane.

There will be two short food and drink stops.

Oakley has a cafe for those who would like to stay for a social coffee and cake, before returning home.
