However, the Wiltshire Cycleway can be split into shorter sections or attempted in stages, with plenty of pubs and other places to stay along the route.
Much of the route runs on country roads, so accomplished riders and those on bike tours will love travelling through the peaceful Wiltshire landscape.
Along the way, you’ll be greeted by a series of quaint villages and historic towns that you may want to take some time to explore.
Highlights include Bradford-on-Avon, with its medieval buildings and old stone bridge which houses a “lock-up”, once used for holding prisoners.
You’ll also pass close to the impressive Longleat Estate, before arriving in Salisbury. The city’s famed cathedral holds one of the original manuscripts of the Magna Carta.
Amesbury sits on the River Avon and brings you within just a few miles of Stonehenge.
Next comes Great Bedwyn and the lively market town of Marlborough.
Malmesbury, with its market cross and Norman Abbey, is particularly picturesque, and you’ll want to savour the old-world charm of Corsham.
