Deceivingly Tough Uphill Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Best traversed westbound for the downhill. Eastbound it's one of those gradual climbs that never relents, made even more difficult by the wind howling across the fields.

Henham Village and The Cock Inn

Highlight • Settlement

Nice pub with seats in front and large garden to side. Well worth a rest after the hill up to it.

Tiny Curtis Rugby Ground (Saffron Walden RFC)

Highlight • Rest Area

A really welcoming local rugby club. Stop and have a drink and watch some rugby most Saturdays (seniors) and Sundays (juniors). Food is usually available on match days. Loos are …

Debden to Newport Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

If travelling westbound, there's a bit of up and down at the eastern end, before flowing downhill past halfway. If travelling eastbound, it's quite a drag uphill out of Newport.

Highlight • Cafe

Long Climb Westbound

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A deceptively difficult long drag westbound, which is murder with the wind in your face. You get your reward at the western end, with a downhill around the bend, but it's no recompense.

The Cricketers Arms

Highlight • Pub

Decent pub, not cheap but good beer. Black Sheep when I was there.
