ハットフィールドブロードオークでののおすすめグラベルライド

Watch out for pedestrians and dogs, great place to stop to refuel.

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

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

Smooth fast gravel surface Byway, mostly flat straight lines with some technical bits thrown in. Recommended in dry conditions/maybe passable in the wet, too - with the right tyres/bike. 🚲 🚵

Been here quite often, not the best, not the worst, just quite overgrown, but still a nice spot put together by some people!

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