Watch out for pedestrians and dogs, great place to stop to refuel.

Great ride & quite roads

Great place for a break! Able to order outside (if the weather is nice) so don't need to worry about securing bike if a solo biker!

Joined the Flitch way here - an excellent off road trail all the way to Bishop's Stortford - as an old railway - fairly flat with gentle gradients - highly recommended.

Good coffee and cakes served here

Excellent café - great cakes

Nice cafe for cake and coffee too.

You will need to find a passing place or pull into the hedge if you meet an oncoming car. On a practical level, it's very quiet and has a number of field gates where you can nip behind a hedge to answer the call of nature on a long ride!

A picturesque lock on the River Chelmer and also the home to a tea room should you need a it stop. This is a round the halfway point on the River Chelmer's 14 miles journey from Chelmsford to the Heybridge Basin where it meets the sea. For more information please see the website www.papermilllock.co.uk

The River Chelmer flows for 65km from Debden to the Blackwater Estuary and passes only through the county of Essex. It was previously known as the River Baddow, but its name was wrongly changed on the assumption that Chelmsford was named after a river crossing over the River Chelmer. In fact, Chelmsford was named after the landowner, Cēolmǣr. It is a beautiful river to walk along with a real feeling of peace and tranquility so close to the city.

Nice place to end the bike ride better than going to Braintree

If you are looking for refreshments you can visit the Paper Mill Lock Tea Rooms . https://www.papermilllock.co.uk/

Once a working train station on the Bishop's Stortford to Braintree line, Rayne is now a lovely stop on the Flitch Way cycle and hiking trail. The station building houses the Flitch Way visitor centre and you can enjoy cakes and hot drinks from the cafe while sitting on the benches where trains once rumbled. There's also a railway carriage museum here which is great fun for children to explore and find out more about the old branch lines.

A quiet single file road that passes farmland. Which is such a difference from the Hatfield/Maldon Road, where you get beeped at just for being a cyclist in the way.

A very cool cafe - does get very busy however.

Nice place to stop for a bite to eat and a drink

Coggeshall is a pretty town that boasts almost 200 listed buildings, including many beautiful timber-framed Tudor buildings. There are lots of attractions in and around the town including the magnificent St Peter ad Vincula (known as the 'wool church'), Paycockes House, the Grange Barn, and the remains of the former abbey. There are a couple of decent pubs, plenty of places for food, shops, and more, making it a good choice for a pit-stop.
