St Mary the Virgin Church, East Bergholt

Highlight • Religious Site

Whilst people have been worshipping on this spot for over 1,000 years, this beautiful church was originally built somewhere around 1350, nearly 700 years ago.

It was originally designed with a tower in mind, but it was never completed. Legend says that every time the builders stopped for the night, the devil tore it down. Whatever happened, the five bells, considered the heaviest in England, are now housed in a bell cage and still rung before each service.

Royal Hospital School Clock Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

It looks like you’re riding through a period village but it’s actually all part of the grounds and buildings of a boarding school connected with the Royal Navy. Impressive Queen Anne-style architecture.

Highlight • Settlement

Pretty village, quiet roads. Great alternative to A12 cycle path (which is noisy, rough and overgrown in places, not for road cycling).
