(Portuguese version at the end of the page)
Today I decided to cycle to a village called Burley which is 9 miles from where I live.
The ride through the forest is quite pleasant and most cars respect cyclists.
Burley is a tiny village with lots of little shops and one cycle hire. So why not hop on a bus (or even drive there) and explore Burley and its surroundings by bicycle? It’s a great way to get some fresh air and to keep fit.
Burley is famous for being a “witches’ retreat” and many shops are witch-themed. The Queen’s Head pub was built in the 16th century and was notorious for smugglers (photo below).
Burley is easily located in the heart of the New Forest, with great access from the A31 and A35. If you are using Sat Nav set your destination as BH24 4AB to head for the village centre.
Texto em portugues:
Hoje eu resolvi pedalar ate o vilarejo de Burley que fica 9 milhas de onde moro (aprox. 15km).
O trajeto pela floresta eh bastante agradavel e a maioria dos carros respeita os ciclistas.
Burley eh um vilarejo minusculo com varias lojinhas e um cicle onde voce pode alugar uma bike. Entao que tal pegar um onibus (ou ate mesmo ir de carro) e explorar Burley e arredores de bicicleta? Eh uma otima maneira de respirar ar fresco e se exercitar.
Burley eh famosa por ser um retiro das bruxas e muitas lojinhas tem bruxaria como tema.
O pub chamado Queen’s Head foi construido no seculo 16 e era bem conhecido por ser um local de contrabando. (foto do pub acima).
Burley eh facilmente localizada no coracao da New Forest, com facil acesso pela A31 e A35.
Se usar SatNav (GPS): BH24 4AB
Esse eh o CEP (post code) que te levara ate o centro do vilarejo.
Obrigada pela visita!
