Make sure to take the additional peninsular part of the ride though beautiful Hambleton and past Hambleton Hall where we stayed. It has an excellent Michelin Star restaurant open to non residents

Fantastic 2 -3 hour ride with great views. We went on simple rented electric bikes, not full EMTB, and tbat was great and there are some hilly parts away from the water.
