Lemons Hill Bridge carries the road across the northern end of Alton water reservoir. It links the two parts of Tattingstone village.

Nice view down the long but narrow reservoir, almost like a large river.

The best view of the upper part of Alton Water. A wide, fast descent to the bridge from either direction with a short climb out.

The lowest crossing on the River Stour, next to the tidal sluices separating the river from the estuary, and also the border between Essex and Suffolk. Originally the site of a timber bridge which was bleached white by the salt.

The park includes a cafe with bike stands and outdoor seating overlooking the river, open 9-4 every day.

Convenient bench (and bin) with views out across the Stour valley just above the village of Dedham.

Popular local beauty spot. There's a cafe overlooking the river next to the rowing boat hire station.

Scenic brick bridge and a riverside rest area.

Unfussy traditional cafe. Open 8am-6pm Mon-Sat, 9am-4pm Sun.

Actually probably one of the ugliest villages in a famously picturesque area: dominated by an estate of very un-scenic modern houses. About the best thing you could say is it's better than the A12.

It looks like you’re riding through a period village but it’s actually all part of the grounds and buildings of a boarding school connected with the Royal Navy. Impressive Queen Anne-style architecture.

Beautiful village on the Stour, the ‘capital’ of the Dedham Vale, with an imposing high street including cafes for a refreshment stop. The descent down through the wide main street from the south-west offers a nice fast run as well!

Sorry - should read best bike shop !!!

Agree - the hedt bike shop in East Anglia - worth a detour - even a long one!!!

Lemons Hill Bridge crosses Alton Water and links the two parts of Tattingstone which were split when the reservoir was created. A great number of buildings were lost. In the north is the village pub, the White Horse, a lovely place to stop, while in the south is an 18th century workhouse and the parish church. If you are running through the village keep an eye out for the red phone box which is home to a collection of audio recordings of people who were impacted by the flooding of the area to make way for Alton Water.

If you fancy taking to the water, Constable Park offers a variety of activities including SUP, kayak and Canadian canoe all available to hire, and you don't have to pre-book. There is also a coffee house on-site.

Great sandwich at Huffers. Cash only though…

Across the River Brett and into Hadleigh - lots of places for lunch!

Lots of cute little shops and cafes

Formerly the premises of The Pedal House bike shop. Great pastries, filled sandwiches and rolls, cakes and coffee, and outdoor or indoor seating.
