Matchings Byway

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Will be hard going in winter but in April '25 it was lovely. A bit bumpy so nothing too narrow on the tyres.

Matching Green Common

Highlight • Settlement

A classic Essex village green and a nice place to pause for a break. The pub opposite is also pretty good.

Sparrow's Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A pleasant roll through the fields. Best traversed northbound for the long downhill.

Solitary Tree in Rapeseed Field, White Roding

Highlight • Viewpoint

This beautiful tree-lined avenue is located along a quiet country road in White Roding.

Look over to the west and you'll see a solitary tree standing tall amidst a sea of rapeseed flowers, a very lovely scene indeed.

View of Oilseed Rape Fields on Little Laver Road

Highlight • Natural

Round about here pause to take a look over the gate. At the right time of year you get this view with the bright yellow of the oilseed rape contrasting with a dramatic sky!
