バックランドでののおすすめグラベルライド

Sept '25 finds this bridleway rather horse trodden. A little rough on the rear!

The Bridleway goes direct to it from behind so you don’t have to go on the road at all, just don’t turn into the actual farm, the bridleway is just after, it’s all well signposted

Brilliant cafe!

This is a wonderful, flowy gravel path. As mentioned previously, when going at speed, watch out for those larger ditches (a bit like a pump track).

Enjoyable off-road climb (northbound) into Ashwell, where the off-road path continues, passing behind houses and allotments

If you're fully committed to sticking to the Icknield Way, prepare for some thick undergrowth in parts and hike-a-bike. The other parts are still worth it.

There's thick undergrowth here in summer, so not quite rideable without causing a mess to the rear mech and cassette. If you don't mind hike-a-bike for several hundred metres, it still links up rideable parts of the Icknield Way.

The path has become overgrown in places but is not impassable if you don't mind a nettle sting or two. Unfortunately the west side does lead you onto the A505 layby with a burger van and an unpleasant kilometre to the edge of Royston.
