110km British Gravel Cycling Adventure | New Forest, Wiltshire & Dorset
Join me for an unforgettable 110km gravel cycling adventure across three beautiful British counties: Hampshire, Wiltshire, and Dorset! Starting in the stunning New Forest, this ride takes you along the Castleman Trailway, through Moors Valley Country Park, Verwood Forest, Cranborne Chase, historic Shaftesbury, the North Dorset Trailway, Blandford Forum, and finishes in charming Wimborne.
Expect a mix of classic British gravel, from smooth champagne gravel to rugged field edges, plus the most exhilarating road descent in Dorset!
I cycled this route on a mountain bike but it would be great for a gravel bike, nothing you wouldn’t find on the King Alfred’s Way or South Downs Way.

Looking forward to trying it
Maybe I should use my gravel bike this year! ๐
Hi Tom, great to watch enjoyed very much. Would imagine it took some work to get your bike clean?
Ah you almost cycled past my house! (Near Win Green). Nice round there isin't it? Could have had a cup of tea and a nice sit down. Thanks again for your advice on AMR25. S
Looks like another wicked route. Cheers fella
Another great video,must be so tricky filming as you ride!Love seeing the beautiful scenery too.
Another lovely video Thankyou.
What do you prefer eating or cycling ๐ x
Great stuff..I'll have to get the gravel wheels out!
Why did you not ride the route on a gravel bike?
Lots of familiar routes there! For a gravel ride probably be better to carry on the trailway after Blandford as it runs down to Spetisbury where you can go over a nice scenic bridge over the river and back onto your route into Wimborne
Looks like a nice route to try out – cheers, Hardtail looks perfect for those UK gravel trails ๐
Great video and route.Keep them coming.๐๐ป

Looking forward to the route. And I need your help persuading Emma that I really need a new bike ๐๐
