Small but fun skatepark

Starting from the forestry commision car park, hed over the bridge and turn right. This will give you several options for forestry trails and if you head towards Lynford you can then pop on to the road for a short trip to Browns cafe.

Not much visible from the road. Accessed by a gravel path.

Beautiful route, wide but with little traffic, that descends through the woods towards the village of Santon in the valley of the River Lark.

Good views from the higher ground with a fast drop down on a generally empty road.

Shout “Four!” and play through; watch out for sand traps, and they’re not too keen on cleats on the putting greens. 🧐

The Stanton Downham Bridge was built during the first world war as a rail bridge to transport timber and logging machines. It's been a road bridge since about 1922. The bridge crosses the Little Ouse River.

Cafe and dining venue run by local coffee roastery, Silver Oak, with large, covered outdoor space as well as indoor areas. Ample bike parking and cleat-friendly surface make for a great group ride stop.

The remains of Thetford Priory a really nice and reflective space to end a tour... or start one. Thetford really is a gravel gateway with the Peddars and Icknield way passing nearby and the Kings Forest near Brandon. The Priory is smaller than the much larger establishment at Castle Acre but still majestic. The Priory of Our Lady of Thetford was one of the largest and most important monasteries in medieval East Anglia. Founded in the early 12th century, for 400 years it was the burial place of the Earls and Dukes of Norfolk, and enjoyed their powerful protection. It was because of this that Thetford was one of the last monasteries to be suppressed when it surrendered to Henry VIII's commissioners in 1540. The extensive surviving remains include the lower walls of the church and cloister, together with the impressive shell of the prior's lodging and an almost complete 14th century gatehouse. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/thetford-priory/history/

The road across the flats of Grunty Fen, between the higher ground of the Haddenham ridge and the Isle of Ely.

Amongst fields. A bit exposed when windy!

Only accessible if you get off your bike and walk.

The lowest crossing point on the River Cam, before it joins with the River Ouse.

Thetford priory is a beautiful abandoned building be ware if the ghost

The forest is lovely but the road is pretty busy and, being straight, the traffic is fast so not really the most relaxing route to ride.

Perfect if you find you need a holiday mid-ride. My wife did wonder why my ride had lasted a week though.

The bridge makes an appearance in Dad’s Army series 5 “Brain Versus Brawn”.

Not the most scenic location on a light industrial estate but a good option in an area of limited choices.

The B1107 between Brandon and Thetford is a busy main road. The quieter roads around Santon Downham are a better choice if you want to ride through the forest.
