This lovely crossing over the River Test takes you through beautiful countryside. There are several interlinking rivers in the area, so you can expect to cross a few more along the way.

Unless you are good at trials riding, what is shown in the photo is not for a bike. However it is a fair destination to entertain young children mid ride. The surrounding woods have plenty of bike trails if you look for them, they are just not signposted.

You have to stop on the bridge but there is a pavement and it’s worth it.
