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

Easy route, suitable for all bikes and ages. Can be bumpy in places.

Bannister Green Halt was sited on the up side of the line and consisted of a clinker platform with timber facing raised to rail level; it was attended by staff from Felsted or Rayne Stations. It was one of two halts built by the GER in 1922 to attract passengers to the railway and counteract the then recently introduced bus service. Passengers joining or alighting at the halt were required to use retractable steps mounted by the side of the coach and operated by the guard.

Former halt on Flitch Way railway route. Great for a gravel bike ride!

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!

Classic cafe stop in the area, always plenty of cyclists and places to put your bike.

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

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.

Go down the lane to the left of the main building to reach the garden and bike parking area behind. The front entrance is for drivers using the car park.

You'll spot the spire from a long way away as you approach Thaxted.

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

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.

Popular & spacious cyclists cafe with good range of cake. It has outside seating around the back and dedicated cycling racks.

A very cool cafe - does get very busy however.

While I can’t guarantee enormous (and possible erroneous) slices of carrot cake its always worth a punt!?

Menu is great and portions are huge (Bacon Sandwiches are the size of Flandrian Cobbles) also have gluten free options

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

Outside the church are 2 benches with plenty of space for bikes. A handy stopping place for a rest and drink. It is opposite the Swan Hotel so that is the alternative
