Milverton Sawmill Cafe (clockwise)
Vivary Park
09:30 – 14:00
A revived venue via a somewhat hilly route to Milverton via Langford Budville, but it has a lovely downhill run into Milverton. I have limited the numbers to 6 for this ride as the venue does not look huge. Let's hope the weather is kind to us!
