Off there from Thorpe on Sunday. Just wondered if anyone else has been and is there a shop in walking or cycling distance for the basics, bread, milk or dare I say it wine, and beer

Hi.
I stopped there a couple of weeks ago. I was on the CC site which is on the south side of the water. There were a few supplies on the site, but not a lot. There is a small shop in Carsington village which should have most essentials, there is also a caffe at the visitors centre which is about half way up the west side.

Its quite a nice bike ride around the water but it is quite steep in places, even with my cheats bike .

Have a good trip

Mike

Thanks for that, all we are likely to need is bread n milk so should be ok. :thumb:

Probably best nipping down the road to Ashbourne Ken. As far as I remember there is only a gift shop at the Visitor Centre.

Went into Ashbourne on our PROPER push bikes. Got soaked, the heavens opened!!! Not too impressed by Ashbourne to be honest. We will survive. got the G&T and some wine to see us through.

There are a couple of pubs nearby. One only a couple of hundred yards from the visitor centre entrance, the other in Carsington village about half way round the res.
The distance round the res. on the foot/cycle path is approx. 7 miles and is qiuite hilly in places. Great going downhill but hard work going up!

On the few occasions we've been to Ashbourne it's struck me as interesting if you have the inclination to find the interesting bits - they're there to be found, just takes some doing. Nice Saturday market if I recall correctly.
