Quiet Tree-Lined Road off Great North Road

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Quiet and wide road for riding in a group. Ok tarmac, some pot holes so watch out. Excellent to really get in the zone as there are no traffic lights …

Cumcum Hill Climb

Awful name for a road but the hill is quite steep

Essendon Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Fast 40mph/65kph downhill when travelling northbound. Nice sweeping wide left turn, but careful of the right angle turn at the end. Can be easy to misjudge and go in too fast! Quiet road generally

Watton to Walkern Road

Highlight • Viewpoint

I love cycling along here from Watton to Walkern. Generally little traffic, lovely views and a gentle gradient. It feels a lot further from London than it is and Church Farm at Ardelely is very close.

Cromer Windmill

Highlight • Structure

Nice descent towards Cromer with a swinging right / left double corner which you can take flat out with the right line (but stay on your own side of the road in case of oncoming traffic around the bend).
