バッグソープウィズバーマーでののおすすめライド

Great coffee and food.

15m top to bottom: you might not even notice you've gone over it.

Great spot for a break

A secluded and well surfaced lane, mostly pea grit and good for most bikes.

A lovely ride along the avenue towards the estate.

I call it a climb... it's Norfolk so more of a bump, however lovely road surface.

Beautiful examples of Barrow's that have survived quite well mainly due to how flat the landscape is here. They stand proud of the landscape and are particularaly atmospheric at dusk.

Impressive landmark on the northern approach to Hunstanton.

Excellent cafe serving high quality deli food. Courtyard seating as well as tables out front, or indoors if wet. Open 8am-6pm Mon-Sat, 9am-12pm Sun.

The higher ground above the north-west tip of Norfolk gives views out over the entrance to the Wash and the wind turbines off the coast.

Hugely popular upmarket gastro-pub. There are some tables out the front if you want a pub lunch that's a cut above the usual.

Burnham Market and Burnham Thorpe both have a pub named after the area's most famous son. This one shows that marketing cash-ins aren't a new thing: the name was changed from The Mermaid in 1805 to celebrate the connection.

Accessed across a gravel car park and without anywhere to really leave a bike. Probably a better stop for tourers than for road cyclists in cleats.

Sitting near the route of the old Peddars Way trackway. Amazing to think that these barrows have seen the Romans, Angles, Vikings and Normans all go by, standing inviolable and immutable.

Pretty little church sitting in a well-tended churchyard.

A small and undistinguished muddy puddle.

Fairly unexceptional parish church, noteworthy for the fact that the south wall re-uses Roman masonry blocks from the fort of Branodunum just to the east of the village.

If heading west, it's at the foot of a fast drop-down taking you into two right-angled corners, first a left then a right. Now a National Trust holiday let.

Traffic-free connection between Castle Rising and Sandringham, with nice views across the pastures by the Babingley River to Wolferton Wood.

I can think of nicer places for a break than a layby with no amenities while the traffic on the main coast road whips by. Still, a novelty to see an AA box these days.
