Potter to Potted Pantry

This route is not too hilly but there are some ups and downs. We ride out of Stratford along the Luddington road, and we go via Welford, Barton, Marlcliff and on to the Potted Pantry at Blackminster. We return via Bretforton, Honeybourne, Pebworth, Dorsington, and retrace our route from Welford back to the start.

This is a lovely route with nice views, only one challenging hill (out of Welford) and by comparison the rest are minor undulations, honest.

The route is all on-road except for a very short stretch of cycle path at the start and end.

We will stop about half-way at the café at Blackminster, The Potted Pantry WR11 7RE. At the time of writing this is a take-away only café or dine in cafe, we may have to eat outside but there is some seating and it should be quiet enough at the time when we expect to arrive. There should be a toilet open for use inside the cafe.

Please make sure your bike is in good working order, especially brakes. Please bring water and also a means of payment for the coffee stop (contactless good). A helmet is compulsory, and bring a jacket /gloves if the weather is cool or changeable. Remember your face covering – necessary if you want to go inside, such as to make the drinks order or to use toilets.

We never leave anyone behind
