Lovely ride - mostly quiet roads and tracks... Bath Arms good place to stop for a coffee. Good lunch in the White Hart after the ride.

This is one seriously tough climb. Mixed surfaces (grass, rocks, gravel, mud) but nothing too tricky in dry conditions. A few very steep sections, and a couple of badly positioned gates (on the steep sections!), make this very challenging indeed. One of those climbs where the combo of gradient and terrain made it impossible to change position on the bike, hence it was a bit of a back breaker. The views to the south and west from the top are fantastic.

Always lovely to see these and walk up to the small hidden path at the top which takes you onto the road. If you are lucky sometimes you can hear the music students practising as you walk by.

This route is no longer strictly accessible. It goes through a private farm with locked gates and the Stour estate which requires a permit (£10 per person)

Closes at 4:30PM so come early !

Cheese 🧀!!!

This picturesque moated medieval castle was built in the 1370s by Sir John de la Mare. It's heavily influenced by French design and features a compact layout with four round corner towers and thick defensice walls.
