Brilliant cafe in High Easter - great place for a cafe stop on a ride through Essex. Well worth checking out

great place to grab a drink and something to eat ☺️

Great greenlane/byeway

This is actually a section of the Icknield Way but I agree, it is a fun downhill section.

26 Aug 24. Still ok to ride. Some parts at West end bit overgrown but stinging nettles but not to bad. Track is well drained, no pot holes or ruts so good gravel track. Its a bit loose in places with some small stoney lumps on surface bit ok if you keep your attention on track. Ford is dry.

No mud in the summer months but plenty of fun on the descent. :)

Unfortunately, now closed on Sundays.

it's a great ride mostly hard packed cinder with some soft spots to catch you out. All a gentle up grade Wesr to East but a great wiz down from East to West. Just don't let the speed get out of hand and watch for loose soft sections.

Nice dip through water 10 April 24

Scenic route but narrow with frequent piles of loose stones in the middle of the road so watch your line especially in the corners.

This cafe has now changed management and is called Waffle and Coffee. Still has bike racks and outside seating although I did not see the bike locks last time I was there. Staff still great and the food is even better. Bacon and egg sandwich is very good. Coffee, Tea and cakes and of course waffles. Good clean toilets so well worth visiting as a rest stop.

Hatfield Forest is an ancient royal hunting forest, and considered to be one of the best-preserved medieval forests in the world. In the past, deer were kept in the forest for hunting. Today you'll find deer aplenty still, though no longer pursued for the same reason. The forest boasts ancient trees, over 3,500 species of fungi, rare insects and a diverse array of birdlife. There's also a beautiful lake, café and river that meanders through.

Fantastic view of Audley End House from Adam Bridge. Audley End is a 17th Century mansion that is known as a prodigy house, meaning that it is extra impressive. Often seen on TV on the likes of Antiques Roadshow, the house used to three times the size, if you can believe it. It's a fabulous view as you cycling past, and worth making a detour out of Saffron Walden for.

Best ridden in spring and early summer or after autumn as it gets very over grown but well worth the effort. Essentially all uphill West to East so be careful E to W as you can get quite fast and there are a few tricky narrow parts by the edge of the Fulfen Slade stream bed. At the western end you need to cross the dry stream bed which is a bit muddy and steep slope in and out but very ridable and enjoyable. Walk it if it looks too much don't risk it. Rode on 14th Oct 23 getting very narrow at the Western end for bikes in what is a long wheel rut best walked if you are not strong steering and balanced - but not long section. Tricky ride now until spring. Roos Lane entrance from Debden Road used by the farm is very muddy, slippery and pot holed so be careful. May 24 After 3 days of rain some standing water and slippery muddy sections ok if you are careful. Fulfen Slade stream bed is running quite deep. However passable today. There are stepping stones if you want to dismount and push

If heading northbound, watch out for the hill you hit at Pinchpools Farm. An absolute gut-buster to get up. Obviously fly down as fast as you dare southbound. The wind can be a killer up on the northerly plain.

Great place to stop for a toastie and coffee - also let us put our bikes inside the cafe to keep our bikepacking stuff safe!

Stunning section of connected lanes where you'll hardy see a car. Lots of opportunities for great photos.

Unfussy little local cafe with a nice garden area with picnic tables as well as indoor seating.

There’s currently a small log/fallen tree covering the track about halfway along. Not a huge obstacle but has the potential to catch someone out if coming downhill.

Hatfield Forest is a 403.2 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Essex, three miles east of Bishop's Stortford. It is also a National Nature Reserve and a Nature Conservation Review site. It is owned and managed by the National Trust. A medieval warren in the forest is a Scheduled Monument. Hatfield is the only remaining intact Royal Hunting Forest and dates from the time of the Norman kings. Other parts of the once extensive Forest of Essex include Epping Forest to the southwest, Hainault Forest to the south and Writtle Forest to the east. Hatfield Forest was established as a Royal hunting forest in the late eleventh century, following the introduction of fallow deer and Forest Laws were imposed on areas by the king. Deer hunting and chasing was a popular sport for Norman kings and lords and the word ‘forest’ strictly means place of deer rather than of trees. In the case of Hatfield the area under Forest Law consisted of woodlands with plains.
