Descrizione
A wonderful English countryside experience cycling along the river through the meadows to a tea garden and local pub. Come and get some fresh air with us!
(2 ½ hours – starting at 1:30pm – approximately 4 miles)
A lovely afternoon in the countryside … how Splendid!
We take a quiet route out of Cambridge through parks to get out west and follow the river through Grantchester Meadows, made famous for Pink Floyd to the picturesque village of Grantchester. Here we take in the Orchard Team Gardens, which was frequented by the poet Rupert Brooke and the Old Vicarage that was his home. We like to have a moment to sit by the river down at the Old Mill before either going for a Cream Tea or a drink in the local pub where we play the oldest recorded pub game called ‘ringing the bull’. You never know you might be sitting next to a Nobel Prize winner as Grantchester has the highest concentration of them in the world.
There is just enough time to take a look at the church and vicarage that is in the famous TV series Grantchester (named after the village) before we head back along the river. If you’re daring enough you could bring your swimwear and cool off in the river. We usually get back to the garage at around 4pm but we often get chatting in the pub and so this can easily be much later!
