There are some absolutely top roads in all these areas, both for training and for simply fun riding. I'll point you at a decent B&B, and beer will definitely be arranged.
Depending on the free time I have available, you can take the following courses:
- Survival Skills 2 Day Advanced
- One Day Bends & Double Bends
- One Day Confidence Builder
- One Day Creaky Rider
