オンガーでののおすすめランニングルート

Very minimalistic cafe, touting scandi inspired design. They serve up all the usual hot and cold drinks, cakes and a basic selection of toasted sandwiches and bagels. Outdoor and indoor seating, but no particularly safe bike storage.

Ongar’s cycling claim to fame is as the home of Mark Cavendish.

Good place to stop for food after the first 25km or so

Good cafe and cake stop on the edge of Ongar. Outside space for bikes and seating if the weather is nice.

Great little cycling stop here for refueling and relaxing. Friendly staff, good for a nice little interesting chat. I had a good flat white and classic cream cheese smoked salmon (onion) bagel, which kept me going all the way to Welwyn Garden City. Very pleasant place to sit out of a morning feeling part of the high street scene for a while.

Coffee and pastries. Outside seating in the sun after midday. It’s on a fairly busy road but it’s a useful spot if you need sustenance.

Beautiful village of chipping Ongar With great walks and the oldest wooden church in the world.

Chipping Ongar is a pretty market town with a rich history. It was once the centre of an Anglo-Saxon hundred, an administrative area developed during the period. In 1162, Richard de Lucy, Chief Justice of England, built a great castle in the town. Whilst the castle was demolished in the 16th century, you can still see the site. You find some decent pubs and restaurants in the town, making it a good choice for a pit-stop. There is also a vintage railway line.
