The Gin Trap Inn

Highlight • Pub

They've been serving "Farmers, Traders, Fishermen and Smugglers since 1668" and now cyclists.
Good Food but didn't sample any of the 100 plus gins since I was on the bike.

They also have rooms- so a good place to base am adventure

The Avenue and Obelisk, Holkham Park

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Avenue at Holkham Park leads to The Obelisk, which was completed in 1732 as a statement of intent to build a grand hall. The Obelisk rises 25m high at the end of the South Avenue approach and signals the point where visitors would catch their first glimpse of the mansion.

The Park is open between 9 am and 5pm.

The Lookout Cafe, Holkham National Nature Reserve

Highlight • Cafe

Holkham Reserve is mad busy in the summer, a heaving mass of visitors with the car park packed all the way from the main road to the reserve. The Lookout cafe has a free water fountain to refill bottles but otherwise best avoided except out of season.

Bircham Stores Cafe

Highlight • Cafe

With racks for cycles and a welcoming attitude for those of us who 'clack' when we walk, the Bircham Country Store is worth a visit. Great coffee and a selection of cakes and savoury treats to keep even the hungriest riders going.
