Beautiful church and graveyard

Nice historic church, Nice quiet area.

Pretty little village, quite farm life.

Just remember its a country park, chill out and relax, ride slowly, - even though you may be on a highly geared all terrain bike, or you're slicked up ready for a world class time trial - its still just a country park. No Strava sections here, just other people on bikes, little kids on bikes, older people on bikes, people with dogs ...on bikes... you get me...

Good stopping point on this route, shaded by trees , time to cool down, take a sip from your drink bottle, munch a bar, and contemplate the meaning of John Clare's words. Meditate upon his greatest wish to be at home with family and friends as he anticipates his death but note his optimism when, though linking death to winter, he draws on the symbolism of the evergreen laurel and plays with the word "leaves". And so by now it is time for you to leave and hope you are not to be further occupied waiting for a train at the Helpston crossing. Happy Cycling - its lovely country.

Very nice area for walking, cycling and all sorts of outdoor activities, but it might get flooded in the winter and sometimes spring as well so check the water levels, I would avoid it when 2.00 or more. check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/station/6286

Good long section of bridleway. Some quite large gravel so bit slippy in places so slow and cautious is the approach for olds like me. Excellent section to include in your ride though.

Note that Rutland Cycles outlet in Ham Lane is now closed. Nearest bike shop is Bristows, Church Drive, PE2 5HE

A very popular country park with lots of wide well surfaced paths and a couple of cafes but it can be busy at any time. Very popular with dog walkers and families with young children. Caution recommended on all the many blind bends.

Dry and dusty or slippery and gritty

A few highlights in Helpston village. Phone box library, buttercross (folk would lay wares for sale on the steps), and the birthplace of and memorial to John Clare, Poet (13 July 1793 – 20 May 1864). (Wikipedia) The son of a farm labourer, he became known for his celebrations of the English countryside and sorrows at its disruption.[1] His poetry underwent major re-evaluation in the late 20th century: he is now often seen as a major 19th-century poet.[2] His biographer Jonathan Bate called Clare "the greatest labouring-class poet that England has ever produced. No one has ever written more powerfully of nature, of a rural childhood, and of the alienated and unstable self."

Nice pub at the start and end of this short walk.

Quicken the steps - smaller steps 180 per min will help.
