リトル・グルマムでののおすすめライド

Short climb with a steady, fairly gentle gradient. Just hold a consistent effort.

The cafe has closed permanently per Google maps. Hoped for a replacement but no sign of any café on the Bawdsey side now (June 2025)

good coffee stop used by lots of cyclists

The south leg is a lot of gravel roads and bridleways. Once off the ferry it's all tarmacked.

keep an eye on the times guys

surprisingly good beach for small fossils such as sharks teeth

Great little ferry in a beautiful place

Very useful if you need a Doctor.

A classic diner-style 'caff' with a vintage feel. You're best at the outside picnic tables, with views towards the river.

Great views of the mouth of the Deben estuary and the sailing dinghies and yachts coming and going. There are toilets, cafe & ice-cream van.

The next crossing point upstream is Melton, so this saves a big detour! £4 one way with a bike - cash only though. The ferry shuttles back and forth across the estuary mouth on demand so you won't have to wait long. Runs Easter-April on weekends, then daily until end of September, 10am-5pm.

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.

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!

Simple but convenient station cafe, handy if you're arriving or departing by train.

Popular cafe near the quayside. There's no dedicated bike parking but you can use an outside table or just lean your bike against a bollard outside, which are easily visible through the floor to ceiling windows. Open 9-5 every day.

Gorgeous location on Woodbridge Quayside. Cafes and bars nearby to pick up a drink or snack, then enjoy while soaking up the view of the estuary.

Nice glimpse towards the coast from the slightly higher ground of the road.

A waymark but not a lot more.

A little bit of Provence in the Suffolk countryside! When the sun's out and the wind is at your back, you could be forgiven for thinking you're in southern Europe. A lovely piece of road.

There are some fantastic independent stores. Also the charity shops have a slightly higher standard than usual.
