If your like me and you like to add interest to your rides or hikes with a historical or cultural destination, you can't go far wrong with a film or TV location. This is the 'Lunch Tree' from the popular TV series 'The Detectorists'. The favourite resting spot of characters Andy (Mackenzie Crook) and Lance (Toby Jones) fellow detectorists. The series is set in the fictional small town of Danebury in north Essex but all the filming was done here in Suffolk.

The tree itself is on private land in a small paddock. You can safely ride to the gates also used in the series and view the tree from there. I was lucky enough to meet someone working on the parkland who was happy for me to nip in and grab a quick snap.

The ride in is along quite a rough track so don't do it on inappropriate tyres.
