This isn’t just a ride through Wiltshire — it’s a day of gravel tracks, flowing singletrack, challenging climbs, fun descents, incredible views and thousands of years of history beneath your wheels.
We start on the outskirts of the medieval city of Salisbury, with the incredible spire of Salisbury Cathedral rising above the skyline.
Then it’s time to get riding. This is where the adventure starts to open up — big skies, sweeping views and trails that make you want to keep riding. There’s a mix of fast, flowing sections and technical moments to keep you engaged, with the Cranborne Chase stretching out around us.
Then we head into Grovely Woods. Ancient woodland, narrow trails and that unmistakable feeling of being away from everything. In late spring, the woodland floor can come alive with bluebells as we wind our way through the trees. And then comes the fun part...
A descent into Great Wishford. Time to let the bike flow, pick your line and enjoy the trail before we turn our attention towards Salisbury Plain.
The route takes us across this huge and atmospheric landscape, passing close to Bush Barrow, one of the remarkable Bronze Age sites scattered across the Plain.
And then, almost unexpectedly, Stonehenge appears on the horizon. We stop, take a breath and grab some photos — because moments like this are what a big day in the saddle is all about.
A steep, rewarding climb takes us back onto the ridge above the Woodford Valley. Tired legs. Big smiles. A head full of memories.
