ヘイブリッジ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Great ride & quite roads

Beautiful route! Just wear long running leggings as there are a few nettles on the initial smaller trails.

Osea Island is a relatively unknown Essex retreat in the Blackwater Estuary with private beaches, no shops or restaurants and mainly self catering accommodation.

Nice cafe for cake and coffee too.

The Chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall is one of the oldest churches and oldest buildings still in regular use in the country. Built in 653 by Bishop Cedd it's been a small church for almost 2,000 years.

One of the oldest functioning buildings in the country, and built on the gateway of an even older Roman shore fort. The chapel is kept open for visitors. Be aware it's reached by a 0.7km unmade stone path after the tarmac ends at the car park - fine with a gravel bike or if you go carefully on a road bike in decent weather.

A picturesque lock on the River Chelmer and also the home to a tea room should you need a it stop. This is a round the halfway point on the River Chelmer's 14 miles journey from Chelmsford to the Heybridge Basin where it meets the sea.

The track between Hammonds Road in the west and Great Graces in East is known as Grace's Walk, after Lady Alice Grace. She is said to have walked down this path on her way to drown herself at Sandon Brook, the little river closeby. Listen carefully as her footsteps have been heard as well as sightings of Lady Alice on horseback wearing a cloak.
