Cycling

This tour begins in the ancient Wiltshire village of Downtown. A thriving community today, it was founded in the Iron Age, with evidence of Roman and Saxon settlements also discovered.

Following waymarked byways and a few well-surfaced roads, the destination of Nomansland in the New Forest provides a welcome reward for the hill climbs encountered along the way.

Downton Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Downton is a charming village situated along the River Avon. A Roman villa has been discovered here, and on high ground, the remains of an Iron Age hillfort are still visible today.

Downton hosts the annual Cuckoo Fair which offers visitors some 250+ craft stalls, live music, and entertainment.

With a brewery and plenty of facilities, Downton makes a great base to explore the River Avon and the New Forest from.
