Magical History Tour

Description

This is about a 25 mile ride. There's plenty to see such as Chew Valley Lakes, a 50's creation to supply water to Bristol. Next we see a Railway viaduct in Pensford where Acker Bilk lived. This is best seen from the pub beer garden. We travel on throught Belluton where John Locke once lived onto Stanton Drew passing the toll house called The Round House, there's nothing round about it though.
A few hundred yards down the road across the old medieval bridge we arrive at the Druids arms. In the garden there is an ancient monument called The Cove - these stones were erected about 4000 years ago. In the fields behind there is about 3 or 4 stone circles. From the pub you can easily walk round to the field entrance. Payment is by honesty box.
Leaving Stanton Drew we next travel through Norton Malereward where you should be able to see on the hill Wansdyke. This is believed to be the Western end of Wansdyke, the greatest Earthwork in Britain, and probable the least known. Further up the road we will cut throught the coarse of Wansdyke.
