Brilliant cafe in High Easter - great place for a cafe stop on a ride through Essex. Well worth checking out

I can't not include it in my usual Essex routes. Smooth road with beautiful view! It's is the BEST!

great place to grab a drink and something to eat ☺️

Restaurant, bar and terrace with bike-friendly beer garden.

Classic cafe stop in the area, always plenty of cyclists and places to put your bike.

If you want to get the feel that you have escaped the city grime, this is the road for you. Gently rolling, quiet and bordered with lush countryside. A great place to drop the pace to look at the views, or pick it up because of its quiet. Take your pick.

The Queens Head is such a nice pub with a garden to stop for a pint and lunch.

The road can flood quite badly even in summer

Short but pretty avenue of trees.

awesome trees!

Unfortunately, now closed on Sundays.

Gorgeous Essex village, peaceful & serene (when I was there, anyway :))

Good views either side, not much traffic

The signpost is not wrong!

All Saints Church

Take heed of that "unsuitable for motor vehicles" sign at the junction of Watery Lane and Abbess Road (just out of sight on the "LITTLE LAVER" road sign photo). You don't want to proceed north up that stretch of Watery Lane in times of poor weather and/or heavy rain.

Go down the lane to the left of the main building to reach the garden and bike parking area behind. The front entrance is for drivers using the car park.

Tiny shop if you need supplies!!

Test your legs on the hills !!
