Great ride & quite roads

Hanningfield Reservoir is celebrated for its significant wildfowl populations and serves as a sanctuary for nature and wildlife. It’s an ideal destination for a day out, offering a range of attractions including the Café on the Water, a gift shop, a play park, fishing opportunities with an on-site tackle shop, picnic areas, and scenic woodland walks. Visitors can also explore the Essex Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre and nearby nature reserve. With convenient road access and free parking, Hanningfield provides something for everyone to enjoy.

Nice cafe for cake and coffee too.

Independent cafe on the High St. Not much space to park bikes so best for solo or pair rides but good coffee and food, and local art on the walls. Tables and a window bar inside or a couple of small tables outside.

Climbs 30m with the steepest gradients just over halfway up. Very narrow and some debris down the centre of the road so pick your line.

Nice place to stop for a break with sea (well, estuary) views but be aware you can't ride your bike in the park proper.

Nothing much to write home about but useful if you need somewhere for a break in the middle of the peninsula.
