Remnants of RAF Riccall are clearly visible around this loop. The base has a rich history and served as a heavy bomber (Handley Page Halifax) operational conversion unit during the Second World War. Three runways were constructed to form an "A" shape, which allegedly had to be rebuilt after they started to subside and sink into the soft ground. The entire common is riddled with patches of concrete and asphalt that represent the remains of the taxiways and flight pan.

It's a bit bumpy-lumpy in places if you're on a road bike with skinny tyres but still nice to ride. Can get a bit muddy when it's wet.

Beautiful spot to stop and have a drink and some food. Although be warned, it is a cash only establishment and does not accept card payments. Fortunately a very nice Dad and Daughter out for a motorbike ride were very kind and paid for a Latte.

Lovely tranquil spot for a little pleasant cuppa, cafe was closed this Monday but we had coffee with us, quite a few folk around so must be popular.
