タックステッドのおすすめランニングルート

Great to ride on a gravel bike as well

Little antique shop that does coffee and limited cakes. Seats outside but no toilets. Thaxted is limited to here or across road at Dorringtons for coffee. Dorringtons has wider choice as its a bakers but no seats. However there is a bench near the post office.

Sept 2024. Dry but serious ruts and deep pot holes some 5ft across and 2 ft deep. In places there is only 1 narrow route along the ridge between pot holes and deep ruts. Some nice climbs as well so this is a challenging ride but satisfying if you can do it - it is not a fast run. Suitable for experienced track riders do not attempt on road tyres. Also if its been raining it will be very wet with deep puddles as the pot holes fill with water. The ridge route will become too slippery to navigate and a serious pile up and bike damage could result. However, there are other stretches which will be ridable even after rain so if you use caution and walk round the treacherous parts you should be OK. 1st time I rode this stretch in early winter starting at the North end, the pot holes were full of water and after slipping and sliding around a bit even when walking I turned round and went back to the other track to the North Green Croft Lane which is rideable all year.

August 2024 - dry as a bone

A good circular gravel track that is through a woodland. The track is solid but very lumpy with embedded bricks and rubble in places. Take it slow in places. Very popular with dog walkers. Worth a detour.

Not the most exciting walk unless solar farms are your thing. Otherwise, wouldn't bother.

Good gravel track well graded and car wide plus. Travelled Oct 23 and in good condition only a few puddles. Long section

Beautiful high street with half timbered buildings and guildhall. Parrishes, half way up, is a decent cafe for refreshments.
