What a treat, the only way to to get into the city IMHO :-)

Fairly large but otherwise undistinguished parish church.

A beautiful Minster, worth a look around

The most impressive remaining piece of King’s Lynns ancient fortifications, which you still pass through when entering the town from the south.

Despite the name there’s no gravel at all, it’s all tarmac.

Grand landmark overlooking the riverside as you come into town.

Wisbech has really suffered lately. The town centre is a sea of empty or down at heel shops. Shame, as some of the local buildings show how grand this place used to be.

Very nice cafe/deli open 7 days a week but be aware that the cafe closes earlier than the farm shop - 3.30pm each day.

In over 100km through the fens this road bridge over the A47 was the biggest incline I encountered. Take what you can get!

Or it could just be a water tower.

Fantastic straight isolated open road leading to the River Nene.

Mouth of the River Nene, known as Tycho Wing’s Channel. From here a quiet road and track takes you to Sutton Bridge.

Some scenic areas in the old town by the quay, some not so scenic other parts.

Nice when the suns shines, a bit bleak and windswept at other times.

Gravel Bank describes the road name, not the surface, so you're good to go on a road bike here.

King's Lynn packs so much history in! The town’s heritage is reflected in an amazing array of historic buildings and at two magnificent market places. The Minster was founded in 1095 as a Benedictine Priory, the church was rebuilt in the 13th century and has been modified through the years. The ornate Town Hall dates back to 1421 and fine old merchants’ houses stretch down to the river between cobbled lanes and the elegant Custom House overlooking the harbour.

Marriott’s Warehouse on South Quay was built as a Tudor warehouse, around the 1580s by one of East Anglia’s wealthiest corn and sail merchants, Thomas Claybourne. Until the 1830s the building was actually on the riverbank, then engineering works took place to straighten the course of the river, creating a new sand bank, which subsequently led to the formation of South Quay.

The Clarkson Memorial in Wisbech, commemorates Thomas Clarkson, a central figure in the campaign against the slave trade in the British empire, and a former native of Wisbech. It was erected in 1880–1881. The whole structure is 68 feet (20.6 m) high. On three of the four sides are carved bas-reliefs, representing William Wilberforce and Granville Sharp, both prominent figures in the campaign against the slave trade, and a manacled slave. The fourth side bears an inscription to the memory of Clarkson.
