    This is literally down the road from where I live so I know all the roads well.

    I’ve tweaked the route onto what I think are some better biking roads still with lots of nice views but some nicer roads to ride on.
    Let me know what you think

      @Handscombmp Brilliant - insiders knowledge 👍 😁 - will compare the 2 routes and very likely will go for yours. Super!!

      Any chance you have an indication of how many hours it would take?

        Would probably take around 4hrs without stops. If you want I can tweak it to include recommend food and comfort breaks?

            @Inge-Bakermans Yep, not a problem. What sort of riding style are you doing and how long are you wanting the ride to last with stops? Any limit on maximum riding time?

              @Handscombmp I am a love to see what is around me rider - ride a Can-Am Ryker rally trike. Image00001.JPG Will be riding the Cranborne as a daytrip so in and out in say 8 hours. Love the smaller country lanes, a good cuppa or two, nice pub lunch somewhere along the way, history, nice vistas. In general just would love to get a good feel for the Cranborne. No off-roading unless it is on pretty smooth gravel.

              Hope the above helps.

                Right I’ve done some tweaks to it. Same link. It now includes a stop at Compton Abbas airfield for lunch, a refreshments break in Mere as well as visit8ng the British Army’s signalling museum.

                Let me know what you think of it as I can tweak it if you want stuff added or removed.

                How many days are you in Salisbury for out of interest

                  @Handscombmp Brilliant! Thank you! 😀 😀 . Been also doing some online searching and will probably also have a quickish stop at Stourhead, Hod Hill & Badbury Rings.

                  Will be in Salisbury for 4 days (at least that is the plan for now) - 2 to visit the town, 1 to do a sidetrip to Old Sarum & Stonehenge and 1 for the Cranborne roundtrip.

                    All worthy visits!!
                    Personally living with it in my doorstep I wouldn’t worry too much about spending two days exploring Salisbury itself and I’d just spend a day. Then put the other day to good use going else where. Caen Hill Locks in Devizes is worth the trip and has some lovely roads to get there!

                      @Handscombmp Thanks for the advice. Though already have seen the locks - cycled along them a few years ago.
                      Also am using Salisbury to relax and rest a bit before continueing my trip towards Lands End.
