Newbury Lock

Highlight • River

Built in 1796, this impressive lock is still in perfect working order. It's part of the Kennet and Avon Canal, and can be found right in the centre of Newbury. The lock is a grade II-listed structure and was originally the most easterly lock on the canal before it was extended.

Specialized Concept Store Newbury

Highlight • Structure

Together with "sister" store Banjo Cycles next door, the Newbury Specialized Concept Store are a friendly and knowledgeable bunch who will look after you as long as what you are looking for is branded with a big "S" (disclaimer, I am a fan of the big "S").

They will look after you and your bike, from bike fitting to servicing, from parts to whole bikes, cycling clothes, footwear, helmets, accessories and even nutrition.

Sainsbury's Local Thatcham

Highlight • Rest Area

Convenient place to refill on snacks and drinks on those long Summer rides, despite being on the main street this supermarket offers some cycle parking stands at the back (Coombe Square).
