Nice historic builing now hosting a restaurant/bar with a relaxed terasse on the upper floor. Good place for a break with a view to enjoy good weather.

A lovely quiet spot free of traffic (apart from air traffic flying into Stansted).

It's not gravel at all, but maybe was once upon a time. The western end is impassable once the ground starts to get wet.

The church is your marker for the start of some excellent local trails. A little climb up to it from the south. Enjoy the porch of the church where you may find some biscuits if you're lucky!

Cute little 12th Century church.

A good stretch and even though I prefer to be on road, I use this when travelling northbound out of Harlow the summer, so as to avoid the climbs on the minor road to the east.

This is where we meet up for rides.
