View of Bures and the Stour River Boundary

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lovely little descent from here into the town, but watch out for the climb out of the town as the route takes you into Dedham Vale AONB!

Hedingham Castle

Highlight • Castle

A 900-year-old Norman keep, beautifully maintained. It costs to visit the castle (£8.50 for adults), but a quick glance from the comfort of your saddle won't go amiss!

Tip by

41.0 km

Clare Parish Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Lovely location, great old buildings, independent cafe's, CO-OP for water etc.

Tip by

48.5 km

Stansfield Short Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

35m in 500m, steepest at the bottom by the bridge over the Glem. Max effort to the junction at the top.

Bench with View of Hartest Village Green

Highlight • Settlement

Picturesque village with multicoloured houses.

Tip by

56.1 km

Hartest Hill Test

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Only 30m of elevation but steep, hitting double digit gradients. Great for a quick hill climb test, or a fast run down into the village before the road rises up as it reaches the green.

Tip by

St Peter and St Paul Church, Lavenham

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful village and church.

Tip by

66.7 km

Full of history and character, Lavenham just calls out to be explored. It is a wonderfully well preserved medieval village and in its heyday was once of the 20 most wealthiest in the country. Evidence of this is clear throughout the village. There are lots of places to stop to eat and drink or to stay if you are looking for a few days away in Suffolk.
