I've ridden Marriotts way many times, and it's a great route. However foolishly I didn't appreciate how muddy many parts of it get when it's been wet.

3 great parking spots and go to the barn for a lovely breakfast sausage roll at 9am. They’re gorgeous. Look out for the Egyptian and Canadian geese as well as a huge amount of chaffinches.
