official starting point Stour Valley Path

Beautiful Historical Church

Good Coffee ☕️

Lovely clock tower with stained glass windows

Beware: management does not welcome cyclists, and do not want cycles near enough to the cafe to keep an eye on while you’re there. Bring a lock or avoid.

Now relocated around the corner to larger premises on the High Street. No cycle parking out front but they have a back garden and they're happy for cyclists (even a group of 10!) to wheel your bike through the cafe to the garden.

Sandwiches made to order while you wait. Open until 2.30pm Mon-Sat.

Pub nearby for water fill up

A very fun section of well paved asphalt to get some speed up. A few bends and some dips and rises to test the legs, best enjoyed in a group putting the power down. The views over the fields on either side are also pretty great.

Duchess Drive eases you into it at the bottom for the first 15m of ascent then ticks up for another 25m of elevation before easing with one final 15m kick and then a roll out.

The Venice of East Anglia!

A short kick from the bottom then drops slightly before a gentle ride into the village. A nice view down the valley from the initial climb.

Picturesque chocolate-box location standing above the wide village green.

Not exactly a bucolic location on a busy A road but a useful option close to Haverhill.

A more gentle descent to the A1092 from Glemsford than the main route due south from the village. Not really noteworthy as a climb but going down gives a long steady run on a broad road with gradual corners allowing you to carry your speed all the way to the village of Cavendish at the bottom.

Fantastic open view across the narrow valley of the River Glem towards Somerton from the road that follows the ridge between Stansfield and Glemsford.

Spectacular Village in Suffolk

Ben & J.Lo usually stop by on Sunday lunchtimes for a pint of Best and a Cinzano Bianco.

Short but punchy woodland climb up Hawson Hills from the valley of the River Kennett at Dalham. Goes up 36m in ~650m (avg. 5.5%) in a steepening gradient.

Note: the highest *pint* not the highest *point*. To find the missing “o” go to www.komoot.com/highlight/1530035
