A new bike route has been added which visits all fifteen churches in the North Hinckford area, it is written to start from Bulmer but as it is circular you can start and finish at the point of your choice. The route is mostly along roads with a brief stretch along a cart track.
The route is courtesy of Philip Gagen.
A new route for exploring the Stour Valley has been added to our website, it links three very different churches in the North Hinckford area all dedicated to St Mary and covers just approximately 12 miles of scenic country lanes you might otherwise never discover.

Open Doors, Sacred Doorways is a community based project encouraging people to engage with the landscape and history around them. We want people to contact us to add to the site with their routes, stories and images from around the North Hinckford area of the Stour Valley.
