グレートバートンのおすすめライド

Scenic road with a gentle gradient through Ampton Wood.

The approach from the north is fine, on good tarmac. On the south side of the underpass the route towards Bury is narrow with spiky brambles trailing across the path, like police tyre stingers, and then a section of gravel. Ok for a couple of riders happy to pick their way along but groups would be better avoiding.

Pleasant, shady spot. Only a few meters from the road but the ground is grass/mud so not the easiest to access in road cleats unless in dry summer conditions.

A good way to cross the A14

This is the three dimensional village sign of Rougham, where it is possible to see a large oak tree, a man and horse ploughing or a family of deers.

This church from the late medieval period is located a bit north of the village of Rougham, next to the school. In good condition, it was during the restoration in 1880 when the remains of a 13th-century church were uncovered.

This small village in Suffolk county has around 580 residents. It owes its name to its founder, Pacca, of Anglo-Saxon origin. At this point, we can see the village sign, featuring the images of its two most recognizable icons: its watermill and windmill. The village has a pub where we can make a stop to quench our thirst.

Quintessential Suffolk: wide, rolling views, and pig farms. An avenue of trees has just been planted along the road so come back in a couple of decades to see the change.
