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.

Lovely old market town. It’s wealth created from growing saffron from crocus during the medieval period. A fantastic selection of cafes including a bike shop that does excellent coffee.
