High Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

There's actually more uphill travelling northbound, but it isn't particularly steep. Southbound, the climb that begins at the northern end of High Lane is evil.

View of Oilseed Rape Fields on Little Laver Road

Highlight • Natural

Round about here pause to take a look over the gate. At the right time of year you get this view with the bright yellow of the oilseed rape contrasting with a dramatic sky!

Matching Green Common

Highlight • Settlement

A classic Essex village green and a nice place to pause for a break. The pub opposite is also pretty good.

Matching Pond

Lake

21.1 km

St Mary the Virgin Church, Matching

Highlight • Settlement

Stunning views. The road is a bridleway, so no access to motor vehicles, but it is fully paved.

Tip by

25.5 km

Downhill westbound

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Ride westbound for the downhill. Deceptively tiring eastbound, especially the first half, followed by a slight uphill grade which doesn't let your legs recover.
