サウスレップスでののおすすめグラベルライド

Coltishall Station is one of the narrow gauge stations on the Bure Valley Railway line. It's also an access point for the nine mile (14.5 km) Bure Valley Path.

I've ridden Marriotts way many times, and it's a great route. However foolishly I didn't appreciate how muddy many parts of it get when it's been wet.

The River Bure is a navigable river which flows into Breydon Water in Great Yarmouth. Coltishall bridge about 10 miles inland is the head of navigation, the furthest larger boats can get.

Take it easy from the start as it is quite a steep climb - I had to stop half way up and walk :-) Once up in the woods the paths can be quite confusing to navigate so beware !!

Lovely place to visit

Pleasure to ride this mostly continuous path from Aylsham to Norwich (in dry conditions) through changing settings and off-road surfaces

It's a nice feature to test your handle bars cycling up to the road. :) However, once up on the road, do not get confused by the Marriott Way sign across the road pointing leftward, as you need to turn right and left onto Station Road and descend down quite a chunky gravel descent (possibly due to construction work).

One of the major stations and exits to towns along the Bure Valley path, with the paths along this stretch being compacted gravel
