Pica

Same as The Count. Castle Combe is on one favourite loops and it is pretty posh!

Saint Retford and Dunhrlm Massey on our Thurs ride.

Mary Hill 😀

Warsash (clearly superior to all of yours 😆 ) and..

The Millburrys

Habergham Eaves:
A chinese restaurant, a small school and a sailing club.

Crawshaw Booth:
Rawtenstall, but with nowhere to park.

The only thing posh about Crawshawbooth is the fact Phil Neville used to live there (which also devalues the place a little as he was a footballer). The Cinammon Tree takeaway though is an absolute treasure!

Down Ampney is on our current favourite road ride.
Aston doesn’t sound too posh but is in CMDs neck of the woods.

I pass thru Hinton Waldrist to get to Kingston Bagpuize.

Fotheringhay

“Fotheringhay has been distinguished beyond any other place in Britain, except the Capital, by the aggravated misfortunes of Royalty.”

Robestan Wathen must rank up there as one of the best named but disappointing places.

Halfway always makes me smile as it is never that.

When I grew up over near York it was places like Sutton on The Forrest, Sheriff Hutton, Crayke, Sutton under Whitestone Cliff.

Used to visit the pub in Fotheringhay many years ago. It’s the village where Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded.

yep the falcon is quite posh

That’s the place.

Mary Hill

Wikipedia tells me that maryhill was known as the Venice of the north…
Having been there in my youth, I fail to see the likeness

Woodhouse Eaves alwayshas a fairly posh ring to it. So does Market Bosworth. Croxton Kerrial too.
Tugby on the other hand….

Nether Wallop

Purston Jaglin

To fetch my meats I drive through George Nympton and my coffee comes from Budleigh Salterton, and it’s bloody good.

Ainderby Quernhow

Have ridden through the Slaughters

Garnant, on the sunny Amman Riviera. Not too far from Llanelli, jewel of the Costa del Carmarthenshire.

I kid ye not!

Don’t live there anymore but it’s got to be Holmbury St Mary.

Not posh at all, but worth a snigger

Out on the roady this morning went amongst others went through ‘Woodford,Prestbury and Mottram St Andrew’,

More locally ‘Flowery field’ which should really be named ‘Pikey Sh!thole’.

I rode through Upper Arley and Areley Kings at the weekend. I don’t know why they have slightly different spellings though.

We’ve also got Button Oak and Button Bridge near here, which always sound impossibly cute to me, as if they should be fictional villages on a kids TV programme.

We often go down into Hotley Bottom.

and my coffee comes from Budleigh Salterton

I always thought that place had been made up by Marcus Brigstocke.

Actually, “Marcus Brigstocke” sounds like it should be a posh English village.

Just along from Hotley Bottom is Little Missenden.

I ride through this nice golf course and country club called Skylark Meadows. The bridleway runs through it, but i’m always paranoid that some groundsman is going to shout “OI! Get awf my larnd!”
Even Google’s streetview vans weren’t allowed in 🙂

Hatley St George
Cold Christmas

Among loads of others. Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire are full of them….we iz well posh, innit.

Occasionally ride thru Leighton Bromswold. A small, not posh at all, hamlet but it does sport the Green Man; an unassuming pub with very well kept local beers and top notch, proper, home cooked fayre. Oh, and a proper skittles table too!

Cheers,
Jamie

Round Bush (Aldenham, Herts)

Kington Langley, Christian Malford and Lacock

Was about 150 miles into a 250 mile Manchester to London ride when i saw this place, picked my mood up as a good mate always says “give it some beans….” when you need to get stuck in.
