플리치 그린 주변 최고의 버스 정류장 출발 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Excellent coffee by a passionate barista, far better than the majority of cafes

Alot fly tipping over from the travellers site, beware of sharp objects on the cycleway.

Typical scenic view along The Filtch Way

Be careful if you have less than nobbly tyres as the wooden slats become slippery when wet.

Running for 15 miles between Bishop's Stortford and Braintree, the Flitch Way is totally traffic free and very flat. It is a fantastic place to hike with a good surface. The railway was opened in 1869 but closed 83 years later in 1952. It continued to operate for freight only until 1972. There is a cafe, toilets and visitors centre to the east of here at Rayne.

Within Priory Church in Little Dunmow lies the tomb of Matilda Fitz Walter, said to be Maid Marian of the legend of Robin Hood. The story goes that Matilda fell in love with an unknown warrior who came to her 18th birthday banquet. During the same celebration, Prince John also fell for her and when his advances were turned down resorted to violent means in attempt to marry her. After Prince John killed her father, Matilda fled into the forest and was met by the warrior. He revealed himself as Robin Hood, the outlawed Earl of Huntingdon. The couple were married but Matilda was later killed by Prince John (by then King) who sent her a poisoned bracelet that rotted her wrist through to the bone!

Pleasant little cafe but only limited space, indoors and out, and no space for bike parking so best for only a couple of riders - larger groups, go elsewhere. Cakes and drinks only.

Amazing 1960s concrete Brutalist water tower that looks like some kind of alien spacecraft crash landed in the Essex countryside on the edge of Felsted.
