Starting Point & Postcode
On grassy area at Hawthorns Urban Wildlife Centre Southampton Common SO15 7NN
Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
1 hours 0 mins  (40 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

Rider Comments on the Route

  1. Amelia Ash Saturday 24th September
    Circular ride around the park. Was a sunny day so very busy and had to dodge pedestrians. Not for me, but very family friendly.
