Bike trip! Mt. Hope Farm

View from my spot...Taken with an old iPhone too!

Have you visited Mt. Hope Farm yet? I know, it’s not in Warren. It’s in one of those towns that begins with B. BUT! You can easily bike there from Warren (it was a vigorous 40 minute ride on a super-packed bike path) with only a small bit of road-riding. Once you are in Bristol, stay on Hope St until State St. Watch out for parked cars and pedestrians, ride slow and be alert. Go ahead and hog the lane if you need to. You have the right! From State St, take a right onto Dewolf Ave to avoid the crazy busy and life-threatening Metacom Ave. Take a left onto Mt. Hope Ave which will take you to Metacom. Be extremely careful while riding on Metacom. Luckily, you are practically crossing the road, so don’t be intimidated. The entrance will be on your left hand side. Once on the grounds of Mt. Hope Farm, breathe a sigh of relaxation. Then inhale the scents of the wildflowers in the meadow, the sounds of the babbling brook, and make your way to my favorite spot (but not if I’m there, I prefer solitude) and take in the view of the Mt. Hope Bridge spanning the sparkling waters of Bristol Harbor. Do this while you can. The winter, she is coming.
