Real Ale Wobble
A waymarked mountain bike ride where beer tokens buy you locally brewed real ale at the finish, followed by a beer while your bike gets washed.
Britain's smallest town punches well above its weight: a working on-site brewery, a genuine calendar of eccentric community events, a cafe and a real pub make it a rewarding and oddly spirited destination for anyone willing to seek it out.
