Scenic route but narrow with frequent piles of loose stones in the middle of the road so watch your line especially in the corners.

Hatfield Forest is an ancient royal hunting forest, and considered to be one of the best-preserved medieval forests in the world. In the past, deer were kept in the forest for hunting. Today you'll find deer aplenty still, though no longer pursued for the same reason. The forest boasts ancient trees, over 3,500 species of fungi, rare insects and a diverse array of birdlife. There's also a beautiful lake, café and river that meanders through.

Scenic road through scenic countryside. Road is quite narrow and just east of East End the surface has collapsed leaving the road flooded by the adjacent stream and strewn with loose stones, so go easy into the blind corners.

If heading northbound, watch out for the hill you hit at Pinchpools Farm. An absolute gut-buster to get up. Obviously fly down as fast as you dare southbound. The wind can be a killer up on the northerly plain.

Henry Moore was one of the world's greatest sculptors, creating many celebrated monumental bronze artworks. Before his death in 1986, he lived here in Perry Green. The site has since become the Henry Moore Studios and Gardens, boasting over 70 acres (28 ha) of sculpture gardens and rolling fields. Here, you can see some of his greatest works, though you'll have to buy a ticket. Dogs are not allowed in the gardens unless they are assistance dogs.

Stunning section of connected lanes where you'll hardy see a car. Lots of opportunities for great photos.

Great stretch. Small quiet lanes. From Maggots it's a long climb to start. Beware large and very (too) fast farm vehicles.

Hatfield Forest is a 403.2 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Essex, three miles east of Bishop's Stortford. It is also a National Nature Reserve and a Nature Conservation Review site. It is owned and managed by the National Trust. A medieval warren in the forest is a Scheduled Monument. Hatfield is the only remaining intact Royal Hunting Forest and dates from the time of the Norman kings. Other parts of the once extensive Forest of Essex include Epping Forest to the southwest, Hainault Forest to the south and Writtle Forest to the east. Hatfield Forest was established as a Royal hunting forest in the late eleventh century, following the introduction of fallow deer and Forest Laws were imposed on areas by the king. Deer hunting and chasing was a popular sport for Norman kings and lords and the word ‘forest’ strictly means place of deer rather than of trees. In the case of Hatfield the area under Forest Law consisted of woodlands with plains.
