Felsted Water Tower

Highlight • Structure

Amazing 1960s concrete Brutalist water tower that looks like some kind of alien spacecraft crash landed in the Essex countryside on the edge of Felsted.

Scenic Country Lane in North Essex

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Another of north Essex’s many quiet and scenic country lanes. This one is a bit wider and smoother than some so easier to maintain speed on.

Chameleon Café

Highlight • Cafe

A couple of tables outside, so you can sit with the bikes. Very friendly staff. Will bring the drinks and food out to you and are happy to fill water bottles. A great pitstop.

Great Bardfield Mill

Highlight • Structure

Stunning example of a refurbished Essex mill, complete with pond and willow tree! Ride by and wonder who lives there now!

Rumblebees Café

Highlight • Cafe

Pleasant little cafe but only limited space, indoors and out, and no space for bike parking so best for only a couple of riders - larger groups, go elsewhere. Cakes and drinks only.
