Touring South Of England Poi Recommendations Needed

This area can be quite picturesque and has decent roads

 

Towcester is a good base, from there there are all sorts of historical and notorious places to visit. Plus Towcester racecourse is a pleasant afternoon.

 

Take plenty of butties Eric, you don't want to go payin'throo't'nose for all that soft southern poncy salad crap !

 

This is a great route if you get down this far. Let me know and I can give you the must see parts and also where you can get off the main roads
You also have Dartmoor in Devon although speed restricted it has some great views

North West and Mid Wales is absolutely beautiful but very busy in summer.

 

Ha! Didn't notice that. Newquay has been invaded y "south" Bude!

 

If your going South East Eric I believe that a ride around the M25 can be quite interesting at this time of year

 

Well if it’s Kent you want to get to you can’t go too far wrong by coming down the 339 from Basingstoke to Alton then heading selbourne, liss, rogate picking up the a272 for as far as it’ll take you then get lost in the little lanes around Kent .

 

Depending on where you are actually heading, I'd go with crispeys first post through the Cotswolds (we've done it a few times now!) This is Burford, but Moreton-in- Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water are all charming.


Going east, the A272 is the bikers road of choice down here - get past Petersfield and on to Midhurst then continue to head east into West Sussex. Stay on the A272 or take the A283 from Petworth down through Pulborough and then down to Brighton. Lots of places to stop and eat - Whiteways near Arundel and Billy's on the road.

Midhurst - (pretends to be Hastings when Foyles War is filmed here)



Arundel

 

Not in Burford mate!
