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?!

15.5 km

Low Ley Plantation

Forest

26.5 km

Straight Rural Lane Through Wheat Fields

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A lovely stretch of lane with a slight s-bend in the middle. Usually very few cars so you can just enjoy the open road.

Tip by

31.9 km

Felsted Water Tower

Highlight • Structure

Amazing 1960s concrete Brutalist water tower that looks like some kind of alien spacecraft crash landed in the Essex countryside on the edge of Felsted.

Tip by

34.1 km

Felsted Mill

Highlight • Structure

Stunning example of a refurbished Essex mill, complete with pond and willow tree! Ride by and wonder who lives there now!

40.9 km

Pleshey Rolling Hills

Highlight • Climb

The long drags at 3% can sometimes be worse than the short but steeper hills. Great riding around this area and pretty much traffic free.

Tip by

41.3 km

Pleshey Village

Highlight • Settlement

Quaint village, site of a former royal castle, now just the earthworks left (sadly mostly obscured from view and on private property).

Tip by

69.2 km

Ridley's, Littley Green

Highlight • Pub

An excellent real pub and home of the infamous Huffer sandwich. Covered bike parking (Sheffield Stands) to the rear of the pub

Tip by

84.8 km

Winding Rural Road Descent

Highlight • Cycleway

Not a big dip but swings you through a left/right at the bottom and steep enough to get you out of the saddle on the way up.
