Burnt Dick Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Not only a great name for a road, but a testing little climb. Peaks at around 9% so a good test of the legs without being too tough.

View of Dedham Vale National Landscape

Highlight • Natural Monument

Dedham Vale is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that straddles the Essex-Suffolk border. The River Stour meanders through the valley, passing green rolling farmland and yellow fields of rapeseed.

Off-Road Path Between Lanes

Highlight • Trail

Not quite as nice in June (2023) - there's a 100m stretch that's thick with nettles and brambles.
