네틀스테드 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Fronts directly on to the pavement with just a couple of tables and nowhere really to leave a bike. Maybe ok if there's a couple of you, so one can look after the bikes while the other goes in, but solo riders or larger groups would be better somewhere else.

On a busy main road and with obscure access. Not the best option.

Garden shop with a garden cafe in the back.

Lovely bucolic views eastwards towards Coddenham.

Dunwich Dynamo feed stop - featured a coffee truck, and 3 food vendors. Long queues at 3am but much needed caffeine and extra snack as the temperatures dropped. There are toilets here.

not the most welcoming tea room. but jubd enough to refill my water bottle with a purchase of tea and chocolates. had to sit outside to drink my tea though. perhaps I needed a prior booking 😔

It’s a pleasant enough spot for a quick stop if the weather’s decent but one of Visit England’s top attractions? I find that hard to believe for a glorified duck pond in an old gravel pit next to a railway line!

Completed in 1987, Alton Water is a hive of outdoor activity from watersports, cycling, walking, running, birdwatching and fishing. There is a cafe and toilets at the watersports centre plus camping if you would like to extend your visit.
