Henham is a pretty little village in rural Essex, although the proximity to Stansted Airport means that the ski tends to be busier than the streets. The Cock Inn is a good pub, worth a stop, the village shop is great for picking up supplies and the Church of St Mary's has been here since 1044 (although it's not the same building).

Beautiful grade II listed building. Here is what the official entry says: "2. Mid C16 double fronted house. Exposed post and panel timber-framing, steep red tile pitched roofs.

Classic cafe stop in the area, always plenty of cyclists and places to put your bike.

Someone in the Cambs highways department clearly has a sense of humour. 😂 One of the best sign combinations I’ve seen.

Now called Blossom Bites. The staff are excellent, and the owner, Emma, is a lovely lady with fierce sence of humour . Outside space for bikes in the front and rear accessed to the right of the entrance. Outside seating as well as plenty of space inside. Excellent bacon and egg sandwiches, cakes and smoothies. A large range of cakes as well. Clean and unisex toilet. A very good place to stop on a ride. Sept 24 update Now serves beer and wine and has special evening events. They have 10% discount for cyclists. New extended menu. Well worth a visit especially as there are 5 old green lanes within 10 minutes.

picturesque village with an idyllic pub location!

Only used nowadays for half-wheelers and those who don’t pull through in pace lines.

It also goes uphill if you ride it from west to east.
