Cycle through our beautiful countryside

Cyclists in Worcestershire are being encouraged to put their pedals to the metal this spring as a picturesque new cycle route has been opened between Pershore and Evesham.

Worcestershire County Council agreed the extension to the existing route late last year and the new cycleway, that completes the link between Worcester and Evesham, is now open for cyclists to enjoy at their leisure.

As well as opening this beautiful new link, the existing cycle path from Worcester to Pershore has been re-branded as National Cycle Network Route 442, thanks to the hard work of Worcestershire County Council and volunteers from the sustainable transport charity Sustrans.

By putting up signs to ensure cyclists can easily follow the new route, cutting back overgrown vegetation and making improvements to dropped crossings for people travelling by bicycle, the trail from Worcester to Evesham has become a safe and visually inspiring route for cyclists to enjoy for many years to come.

A map of route 442 can be found by going onto Worcestershire County Council's cycling web pages and following the links or by going direct to http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/cms/cycling/cycling-maps.aspx.
