スタンステッド・アボッツでののおすすめツーリングルート

Can see the well preserved platforms from the former station which closed in 1962. Today provides convenient seating, parking, and bike access to the excellent Cole Green Way route.

This shouldn't be a Road Cycling Highlight

Sod the ford and just use the bridge.

Lovely little spot for a cuppa & great cake!

Smooth fast gravel surface Byway, mostly flat straight lines with some technical bits thrown in. Recommended in dry conditions/maybe passable in the wet, too - with the right tyres/bike. 🚲 🚵

Easy going southbound and a massive downhill into Clapgate. A gut-buster northbound, as you're not out of the woods by a long chalk after your first massive climb. There's more to come, which isn't as bad, but is made so by the degree to which you haven't recovered from the initial climb at the time you reach the next, past the pub.

Very easy flat ride but lovely and quiet.

A lovely little route along the River Stort.

great way to get into London. Follow this path to the River Lee towpath and get right into the heart of London without cars surrounding you.

A relatively quiet way out of Ware, easier eastbound than west due to the ground and wind.

An artists' hub - glass blowing, painting, pottery, even a luthier (guitar maker)! Remember to walk your bike through the gate and across the bridge so as not to upset those working at the Mill.

Parndon Mill has a rich history dating back to the 19th century, when it operated as a busy watermill. The original mill was burnt down by a fire in 1897, but rebuilt in 1900 and transformed into a community arts hub. The mill has studios, galleries, and workshops for local artists and craftspeople. There's also a pretty lock and great views down the river from here, a nice place to sit and enjoy a snack.

Compact gravel and dirt which can be done on road bikes if not raining. Ok if it's wet, but if it's raining or just after a rain, it can be tricky on slick tires as it can gets slippery.

Lovely coffee and a great choice of cakes just over the bridge from the towpath. Nice peaceful spot with nil need to lock up the bikes.

Not open Mondays, the rest of the week from 10am, lovely selection of cakes. They also have benches, so you rest and enjoy the lovely views.

Don't fear to cross it.

River Palace cafe

Great place to exit and go through Letty Green across the A414 down Panshanger Lane and into Panshanger Park which takes you through fields woods and by lakes to Hertford.

The route ahead, a nice quite stretch from the bridge.

Can find Beautiful houses there
