Chappel Viaduct

Highlight • Structure

It can be seen from a long way off so useful as a distance marker. And who doesn't love a viaduct?!

Bluebell Woods at Arger Fen and Spouse's Vale Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

A unique blend of ancient & regenerative woodlands, Arger Fen & Spouse's Vale is a dreamy & lush 49.7-hectare wood worth the visit.

Tip by

17.9 km

Heavy rain the day before I went past this one, so it was about 30cm deep and running fast, took the pedestrian option instead on my gravel bike.

It's a relatively steep descent down, so one to get prepared for.

Highlight • River

Mount Bures

Highlight • Summit

11th century castle mound. The castle itself was made of wood and is long gone. Accessible from the lane leading up to the church next door which is a similar age, steps up to the top for nice views. mount-bures.co.uk/Motte.htm

East Anglian Railway Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

Interesting museum dedicated to the history of trains in East Anglia. Even if you don't go in, the old station is worth a look.
