Great bridleway

This is a Great Alternative to using the road, This section of Lower road can get busy and being in a valley, there isn't much room to manoeuvre out the way of cars. the gravel track next to the road and fields is a great way to avoid all of this.

Picturesque trail from Newmarket in the west of Suffolk to Cattawade in the south-east where the river joins the estuary at the border with Essex, passing through the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Straddling the beautiful River Stour – and therefore both Suffolk and Essex too – Bures a lovely village. Its medieval church of St Mary the Virgin is a fine sight. Walkers can refuel at one of two pubs – the Three Horseshoes or the Eight Bells – and find accommodation at the Old Manse B&B.

Probably one of the best stretches of quite road in the county.

Semi-hidden turning off the main B1408 which drops you over the bypass into the new Legoland suburbs of Colchester. Better than the main roads.

A pleasant road offering some great views of the Stour valley, especially at the southern end where a couple of climbs provide panoramas. The view from The Lamarsh Lion free house is particularly good.

The Sustrans route here is over quite rough ground and may not be suitable for wider bikes. The sign says " no motorised vehicles", not sure if that applies to ebikes. If you are unsure stick to the road route which is usually quiet.
