Buddy & Rhino Café

Highlight • Cafe

Now called “Buddy & Rhino”. Under new management, still a great cafe. Lovely lunch!

Finchingfield Village Green

Highlight • Settlement

A beautiful little village which is always busy with cyclists, motorcyclists, classic cars and more. The pub is great, but does get a little busy, so there's a little tea …

Rowney Wood

Highlight • Forest

Ancient woodland replanted to conifers and now returning to native woodland by natural regeneration, but greatly hampered by deer

Rolling Section

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A stretch of road best traversed eastbound. You'll still have some climbs, but the climb westbound past Debden Water will test even the hardiest cyclist. Thank God for the makeshift layby at the western end, for a break.

Fleur-de-Lys Pub

Highlight • Rest Area

Great pub with good food! The beer garden is a great place to stop on a cycle and plenty of space to leave bikes.

Hollow Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A gut-busting climb uphill eastbound. Fast and flowing westbound, though use caution as it's not always easy to see oncoming traffic and in bad weather there can be overhanging branches etc.

Flood-Prone Road Near Widdington

Highlight • Structure

As of 2023, it seems to have gotten worse. It wouldn't flood in 2020-22.

Downhill eastbound

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Easy going downhill eastbound. The distance might look short, but it's harder than it looks westbound.
