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

Descent on the Datchworth–Watton Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A lovely stretch of road, one of my favourites, don't forget to take in the scenery as you go by.

Tip by

27.2 km

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).

Awful name for a road but the hill is quite steep
