Chiseldon & Marlborough Railway Path Family Cycle

This is a lovely, easy and safe cycle along the old Chiseldon and Marlborough Railway path.  And it’s a bit of fresh air therapy too.

Park alongside the village green on Elcot Lane in Marlborough (so you don’t need to go right into Marlborough) and then once on your bike continue along Elcot Lane and after going under the railway bridge you will see signposts on the right for the entrance to the track.  We cycled to Chiseldon and back which is about 15 miles in total, so the Littlest was back on the trailer bike rather than her own bike, but it was easy and safe riding for everyone.  It was only on the way back that we realised that we must have been steadily climbing up as there was a lot more freewheeling on the return journey!  There’s a good place to stop for ice creams at the midway point too, just in case there are some tired legs!  Anyway, here are some photos to give you an idea of the ride.
