Set within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the route takes in many of Suffolk’s well known landscapes, attractions, market towns and villages of this side of the county.
Using mostly quiet roads and tracks, the main circular route is fully signed in both directions. There is no designated starting point and cyclists can begin their journey anywhere along the route, with the full circuit of 88 miles (142 km) designed to take between two and four days to complete. Within this, there is an extensive range of short cuts and off-road options available, allowing plenty of scope for shorter rides. The route therefore provides options for cyclists of all abilities. The route also connects with National Cycle Routes 1 & 51 and The Heart of Suffolk Cycle Route.
The pack includes 2 maps for the main signed route based on Ordnance Survey ‘Landranger’ series and 3 forest maps based on the ‘Explorer’ series. There is also a detailed commentary on the route providing useful guidance and information about places of interest along the way and an information guide including accommodation listing.
The pack is available from Tourist Information Centres in the area or by post from:
The Suffolk Coast and Heaths Unit, Dock Lane, Melton, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12 1PE
