Embark on the Ellesmere & Colemere loop from Oswestry, a moderate touring bicycle ride spanning 26.3 miles (42.3 km) with a gentle 608 feet (185 metres) of elevation gain, typically completed in about 2 hours and 33 minutes. This route winds through picturesque Shropshire landscapes, primarily on paved surfaces, offering a smooth experience for touring cyclists. You will cycle past the stunning glacial lakes of Ellesmere and Colemere, with Colemere being almost entirely surrounded by woodlands and grasslands, providing a serene natural backdrop.
While the route is generally moderate and suitable for most skill levels, some roads around Colemere may have a little gravel, so wider tires might offer a more comfortable ride. The trail is accessible from Oswestry, and you can find opportunities for refreshments in charming villages like Cockshutt and Welshampton along the way. Planning your visit during pleasant weather will allow you to fully appreciate the tranquil country lanes and unspoiled scenery.
