周辺のスポット/アトラクション・トップ20

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. 🚲 🚵

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Nice glide down towards Ford. Ride through but careful of the gaps in road.
