The route weaves through Woodborough’s quiet lanes before dipping south to Manningford Bruce, with hedgerows and spring blooms lining the way. The star of the show is the Pewsey Hill climb—a steady 1-2 km haul that’ll get your heart pumping, topped with sweeping views over the Vale of Pewsey.

Looping back through Woodborough, we’ll hit the Honey Street Café for a mid-ride coffee and cake break—expect good vibes and great brews. The return leg takes us past the iconic chalk White Horse near Alton Barnes, through Allington, and along the smooth Horton Road back to Devizes. A perfect mix of challenge and chill!
