ホックウォールドカムウィルトンのおすすめツーリングルート

Thetford forest trails are all good for beginners being in one of the flattest counties of our country it’s v v flat it’s more cross country style riding than mountain biking.

Nice point of interest if you’re bike touring but it’s at the end of a lumpy piece of single track tarmac lane so not really worth it if you’re on a road ride in cleats.

Go early before the crowds

A really useful wooden footbridge across the River Little Ouse near Santon House. It carries a footpath over the river used by several long distance trails. The Little Ouse Path crosses here.

As March 2025 new gravel laid down

Wonderful little church which is more of a chapel in size. Worth a stop and a visit as it has some fantastic tile work and the roof is very well decorated, seated in a very picturesque landscape amongst the earthworks of the lost village it used to service. This is one of England's smallest churches, and it sits on the edge of its largest forest. You cross the river out of Suffolk, and before you reach the Cambridge to Norwich railway line 50 yards on, you turn off right on a track that leads down to the picnic site. Beyond the tables and benches you reach three houses, all that remains of the village of Santon. All Saints huddles among them. Remains of a moat to the west of the church look likely to be all that is left of a now-vanished moated farmhouse, a reminder of quite how close we are to Suffolk. Santon Downham was once the hamlet to this, the larger settlement, but the centuries turn, the world changes, and now there is only a name on the map. http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/santon/santon.htm

Quiet route following the Cut-Off Channel. Surface is mostly decent and wide enough for what little traffic there is to pass.

Open at all times
