タッドロウでののおすすめグラベルライド

Great views from Claybushill, so peaceful

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

A great ride through the RSPB area but be aware there is only one main route north/south that bikes are permitted. Brilliant area with cafe for a coffee and cake recharge!

The Lodge is a nature reserve managed by the RSPB. It's the largest stretch of heathland in Bedfordshire. Important species that can be seen here include Hobbies, Nightjars, Ravens, Common Lizards and Natterjack Toads. There are also areas of grassland and woods, important habitat for other species. There is a visitor centre, shop and cafe.

I choose not to stop for coffee and cake as it's a little expensive and they don't accept cash. Their business so it's up to them but I choose to go elsewhere where they do accept coin of the realm.

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

A brilliant pub with great food on a really nice off-road route through this areas. Definitely worth the ride and stop to “rehydrate” and refuel. The tables outside are great for stopping, getting off the bike and recapping the ride.

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.
