Ludlow Family Friendly Rides: Lady Halton Loop (8.5 miles)

Ride directions

1. Step 1

   Turn right out of the Linney, passing the Mill on the Green and cross over the River Teme using Dinham Bridge. 

2. Step 2

   Turn first right into Halton Lane. Take care: watch out for fast moving traffic when turning right. Follow signs for Priors Halton and the Cliffe Hotel.

3. Step 3

   Follow rough track through farm. Take care: the track is fairly potholed for this short section.

4. Step 4

   Dismount at the gate access road (next to the small cottage) and enter Oakly Park using the bridleway gate.

5. Step 5

   Turn left towards Lady Halton. (Alternatively, you can continue to Bromfield and Ludlow Food Centre – follow directions below).

6. Step 6

   To visit Bromfield and the Ludlow Food Centre, simply continue onto Bromfield rather than turning left at Step 5. Use the underpass when you reach the A49 to avoid having to cross this busy road.

When you have finished in Bromfield retrace your steps and follow the route directions from step 5.
