The Best Rides N°4. This route is primarily in Wiltshire, which is an essentially rural county with some of the most beautiful countryside in England. The route dips into the New Forest in the South before crossing the rolling fields of Salisbury Plain (avoid the tanks where possible) and touching on the Hampshire Downs before returning to Salisbury and the magnificence of Salisbury Cathedral - the tallest church in England. On the route stop and take in the ancient and mysterious stone circles of Stonehenge and whilst you are in the area, taste the local beer of Gibbs Mew. If you dare (and are not looking for an early start) sample the potent Bishops Tipple.
