Stuart Jessey
June 22, 2024, Hidden Ruts in Long Grass

Watch out for the hidden ruts in the long grass - I found out the hard way. No damage though.

Toilet is now usually locked but ask a staff member who will unlock it. Still lovely staff and food especially bacon baguette which I had this morning. Seat out front in the sun and plenty of space for bikes.

Excellent section of bridle way. A short 20m section very muddy (March 24) which I walked but the rest is hard surface and really good ride.

February 18, 2023, Dorringtons Bakery

Dorringtons is a bakery in Newport Essex with space for bikes and seats inside and bench outside. Good coffee, pots of tea and bacon baguettes. There is a wide range of cakes as well of course. Staff always helpful and quick service especially if eating inside. Can be quite busy as its popular locally but queues move quickly so don't let that put you off. Toilet available sometimes locked but ask staff and they will unlock.
