A great ride through the RSPB area but be aware there is only one main route north/south that bikes are permitted. Brilliant area with cafe for a coffee and cake recharge!

I choose not to stop for coffee and cake as it's a little expensive and they don't accept cash. Their business so it's up to them but I choose to go elsewhere where they do accept coin of the realm.
