The Montgomery Madness - Controls &
Facilities
 There
will be plenty of opportunities to gain your 'evidence' of
passage at each of the controls. All venues have shops, cafes
and ATM machines for receipts. Controls are shown in bold.
Bewdley Control
On Loade Street (the main high street) you can find shops
and bank ATMs. There is also a tea shop located next to the
Bridge and around the corner along Severn Side North.
Bromyard Control
Soon after you enter Broad Street you will find three cafes
located around the Market Square including Flowerdews (closed
Tue); No 1@Broad Street Cafe-Bar (open all-week) and the Bromyard
Coffee Shop. There are also a number of bakeries, grocers
and banks located along Broad Street.
Tenbury
Suzie's Cafe and TABS Tearoom & Restaurant (01584 811712)
on Teme Street (the main shopping St) offer a good basic all
day menu from teas and snacks to main traditional meals.
Ludlow Control
Before entering the main part of the town centre where banks
and cafes are located, you will need to carefully walk your
bike through a pedestrian area. Georgian Ludlow has plenty
of facilities. Alternatively, you can obtain evidence of passage
from the Harry Tuffins garage after crossing the A49 roundabout.
Knighton Control
There are plenty of banks and shops situated along the Broad
Street (the main shopping street). A small coffee shop is
located at the corner of Broad Street and Station Road. A
highly recommended tea room can be found by the Clock Tower
on Broad Street. Cafes are closed on Sundays.
Clun
A pleasant Coffee Shop is located by the bridge (open all
week).
Montgomery Control
ATMS are located within the shop in the main square, inside
the Dragon Hotel or over the counter in the post office. The
cyclist friendly Caste Kitchen and Ivy House cafes provide
good pit-stops. Facilities are not 24/7 but the Dragon Hotel
is open until pub closing hours and the shop is open 7 days
a week.
The Bog
The tea room at the Bog Visitor Centre is well worth visiting.
It opens Wednesdays-Sundays from Easter until the end of October.
