플래쉬 우드 주변 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

An unrelenting climb eastbound, no "shelves" or "tiers" to the land, nothing. Non-stop climb. Easy breeze westbound. East of here is regular rolling country.

Excellent takeaway for baguettes, cakes, coffee etc. A few outside benches opposite.

This was my destination pub on my ride, a nice old-school pub with decent beers and lovely-smelling food (I was on the S&V crisps myself). Very friendly and lovely old houses in an old looking street. Apologies for my stealth interior photo, is was small and busy and felt a bit weird talking a picture inside :)

I came across this old-looking pub in Puckeridge which I have never been through before. I will add this to my next pub cycle as it looks like it could be a nice stop with a decent looking back garden. Just need a bit of sun...

excellent Cafe and store at Wadesmill

Great place for a coffee and cake stop

Nestled to the north of the River Rib, Wadesmill is a pleasant Hertfordshire village. Nearby is the pretty Youngsbury Estate, which boasts countryside so lovely that even the legendary Capability Brown remarked that he needed to do nothing to improve what nature had already brought into being. If you are walking in the region and require a refuel, the Feathers, a former 17th century coaching inn, serves good food. The Inn is also home to a 30 bedroom hotel.

Off the main road this lovely lane with cobblestones crosses the River Rib. a turn off here with river on your left takes you along a lovely single track to Puckeridge.

Great little cafe - the cakes are to die for! Very helpful and welcoming to cyclists, and will happily fill up bidons before you leave. Some space at the back to prop your bikes against the wall and eat and drink in the sun. Very highly recommended. Makes a great halfway stop if riding London to Cambridge as even if you are going the scenic way through the smaller Herts country lanes they all return to the main B road there in Puckeridge before you go your own way again.

Charming interior and delightful hosts. Decent tea, coffee, bacon sarnies and cake. Look up to ceiling as well as at the walls.
