マヌーデンでののおすすめグラベルライド

Easy route, suitable for all bikes and ages. Can be bumpy in places.

Always a heart-in-mouth traverse for me, on the rare occasion I need to use it. There's a "cycle track" of sorts hewn out, which is fine if you stay slow and stick to it, but I just don't trust this track.

Bannister Green Halt was sited on the up side of the line and consisted of a clinker platform with timber facing raised to rail level; it was attended by staff from Felsted or Rayne Stations. It was one of two halts built by the GER in 1922 to attract passengers to the railway and counteract the then recently introduced bus service. Passengers joining or alighting at the halt were required to use retractable steps mounted by the side of the coach and operated by the guard.

The station closed in 1952, with the line being used for freight until it was closed in 1972. Only thing remains is crossing keeper's cottage

all the bridleways are grass

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).

Excellent coffee and pastries with nice seating in a paddock.

Heading out of Braintree you hit the main road after this point. Careful of the traffic!
