Excellent Sausage Rolls. Always worth a stop when passing.

Take time to go off the trail to the bird hides and vantage points around the water. The route is best in spring before the nettles take over the path in summer!

The pub in Thomson (The Chequers) on Griston Road is worth a visit...old with lots of character.

Founded in 1107 by William d'Aubigny, the butler to King Henry I, Wymondham Abbey was once a thriving monastery. However, it was closed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII, with the abbey officially surrendered to the crown in 1538. Today, the building serves as an Anglican parish church.

Very cyclist friendly with excellent food and drink.

Fantastic selection of food available

Super cafe!! Suitable for cyclists. The track is about 100 yards and fine to bike down. Unless you have 10k superbike

Just enjoy being out n about

Not so good spot for lunch, move on and find a better place

Has that curious thing of being impressively intact at one end but partially ruined at the other. Very grand for a parish church!

Quaint market town with the usual collection of shops and cafes making it a good place for a ride break.

Well set up for the cycling crowds with proper saddle rail bike parking (no scratching your frame against a stand, or bending your spokes in a wheel holder). Only downside is needing to cross grass or gravel to reach the cafe. Fairly limited opening hours so best for a lunch stop.

Thompson Water and the common form an SSSI managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. It's a particularly important area for dragonflies and damselflies.

The Pingo Trail is an 8 mile hike around Thompson Common which takes in the delights of the ice age pools known as pingos. As the ground froze, water underneath froze to create little hills. When the ice melted the earth dropped back down and created the pingos. They are usually found in places such as Greenland and Alaska so it is an interesting and unique place to visit.

Wymondham is a gorgeous market town in South Norfolk that dates back to the Anglo-Saxon period. Known as a centre for woodturning and brush-making, many of the factories of Wymondham were still in action until the late 1900s.

Wymondham is an historic market town, having more listed buildings than any similar-sized town in Norfolk, including the 17th C. octagonal market cross.

The monastery was originally founded in 1107 by William d'Aubigny, butler to King Henry I. King Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries brought about the closure of Wymondham Abbey, which was surrendered to the King in 1538. It now serves as an Anglican parish church.

If you plan on having a dog with you, then double check where you can take it around Thompson Water. The main footpath that runs beside Thompson Water is Peddar's Way, so dogs are allowed there, but the rest of the reserve is owned by Norfolk Wildlife Trust and some areas are dog free zones at some points of the year.

Thompson Common is famous for its pingos, a series of around 400 post-glacial depressions. Here, you can see more than 400 different species of plants. It is also one of the most important sites in the county for dragonflies and damselflies; 19 species have been recorded as breeding here. There have been 25 species of butterfly and more than 600 species of beetle recorded here, too.
