1.ASTON VILLAGE TO HAMBLEDEN LOCK

SUIT: under 7’S

DISTANCE: 1.5 miles there and back

TERRAIN: tarmac surface, traffic free

This is a lovely way to spend an hour or 2.Park in Aston village near the Flowerpot Pub. The Flowerpot is a gem of a pub with a large garden, perfect for a drink and a bite to eat after the ride(a pub stop is always a great incentive for children and adults).Check out the menagerie of stuffed animals in the bar!

Take the wide path downwards next to the pub garden. Follow down as it meanders all the way down to Hambleden lock. There is often an ice cream van at the lock and a walk on the weir is always a thrill for children. Return the same way-in late summer there are swathes of blackberry bushes half way for a spot of blackberrying.
