로이든 최고의 러닝 경로

Walking through Harlow on a Sunday was quiet an Experience 🎒👋

Smooth fast gravel surface Byway, mostly flat straight lines with some technical bits thrown in. Recommended in dry conditions/maybe passable in the wet, too - with the right tyres/bike. 🚲 🚵

An artists' hub - glass blowing, painting, pottery, even a luthier (guitar maker)! Remember to walk your bike through the gate and across the bridge so as not to upset those working at the Mill.

Nothing more to say other than an attractive row of homes on a fairly quiet road (but a bit of a rat run).

Burnt Mill Lock sits along the scenic River Stort Navigation, situated adjacent to Harlow Town train station. This charming waterway is dotted with vibrant canal boats and inviting grassy banks ideal for resting your legs. A picturesque pub named The Moorhen is located near the lock. There are fab waterside views from both inside the pub and from the sunny beer garden. They specialise in chargrilled cuisine, so if you're feeling peckish, I'd definitely recommend a stop.

Parndon Mill has a rich history dating back to the 19th century, when it operated as a busy watermill. The original mill was burnt down by a fire in 1897, but rebuilt in 1900 and transformed into a community arts hub. The mill has studios, galleries, and workshops for local artists and craftspeople. There's also a pretty lock and great views down the river from here, a nice place to sit and enjoy a snack.

Sadly I have to concur with @Will Jones. There's a huge rut down the middle made by motorbikes and a fallen tree that almost blocks the path. Don't bother.

Parndon Mill has been run by artists and designers as a creative workspace since the 60s. Once a working mill, it now has a gallery space, events and workshops. Worth checking out.
