This cycle route has models of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto that are to scale both in size and how far apart they are. At this scale, you travel over 500,000km with one step meaning that when you cycle you're travelling at ten times the speed of light!

Cycle Closer to Nature is supported by Arla's Kids Closer to Nature campaign and Sustrans. Search for this location on the National Cycle Network here.

BONUS QUESTION

Find the sculpture in the picture above, then find and complete the sentence "Pluto's orbit is the most *********"

Risk overall: Low. This should be easy but take care.
