Fleur-de-Lys Pub

Great pub with good food! The beer garden is a great place to stop on a cycle and plenty of space to leave bikes.

Good gravel track well graded and car wide plus. Travelled Oct 23 and in good condition only a few puddles. Long section

Challenging Gravel Byway Between Green Croft Lane and Chickney Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

very deep ruts March 2020

Tiny Curtis Rugby Ground (Saffron Walden RFC)

Highlight • Rest Area

A really welcoming local rugby club. Stop and have a drink and watch some rugby most Saturdays (seniors) and Sundays (juniors). Food is usually available on match days. Loos are OK but its a ruby club so can be a bit muddy in Gents.

Deceivingly Tough Uphill Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Best traversed westbound for the downhill. Eastbound it's one of those gradual climbs that never relents, made even more difficult by the wind howling across the fields.

14.9 km

Scenic Country Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Stunning section of connected lanes where you'll hardy see a car. Lots of opportunities for great photos.

The Street (Gt Hormead to Stocking Pelham)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Heading westbound over the open fields between Sheepcote Lane and East End is not for the faint of heart, uphill most of the way and no matter the weather, the wind is always blowing a gale in your face.

The Knoll Shelter, Anstey

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Great riding around Anstey. Try the Blind Fiddler Pub.
