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).

4.86 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.

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

Leez Priory

Highlight • Monument

An Augustinian Priory until dissolution in 1556 - much of the original buildings still remain. Well worth a stop and walk around the grounds.

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.

Old re-purposed Railway station. Serves great sausage sandwiches. Plenty of space to put your bike, mostly outdoor seating. Limited indoor seating, although there was an old coach in the station …
