good coffee stop used by lots of cyclists

Snape Malting is a renowned arts and cultural complex set within a former maltings building by the River Alde. It offers a variety of galleries, shops, and performance spaces, including the famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall. It's definitely worth stopping here for a coffee if you have time.

Cycle-friendly cafe overlooking the market square. Large fenced seating area at the front accommodates plenty of bikes. Open 9am-3pm Tue-Sat, 9.30-2.30 Mon.

A dead end for roadies but a scenic approach across the marshes towards the huge shingle bar that protects the coast.

A windy little woodland lane that crosses the River Deben. Ashe Abbey is an impressively large Tudor half-timbered house standing by the river on the site of the old Campsey Priory.

It's a dead end for roadies as there's only one tarmacked road to it but it's a nice ride and there's the Tinto Café horsebox at the car park, which does hot drinks, sandwiches and toasties, cakes and snacks. Officially it closes at 4pm but it was still serving at 4.30 when I was there, thankfully.

Nice wide promenade path gives great sea views. Shared use and often busy with pedestrians which does limit your speed. Avoids all the speed bumps on the Cliff Road though!

I've seen longer, but it's enough for most.
