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).

The Buntingford Coffee Shop

Highlight • Cafe

Can be busy at weekends. Open 8.00-17.00 weekdays, 9.00-17.00 Sat, 10.00-15.00 Sun. Their flat white is called a ‘Nigel’ for reasons I didn’t ask.
