Tips from the Community

July 9, 2026, Grass Track Bridleway to Regiceswande Wind Farm

Now it looks completely different. Overgrown, impassable, thorns, blackberries everywhere. Three flats in 800 meters and a broken jersey, pulled threads in the cycling shorts and bleeding wounds on arms and legs.

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!

Very pleasant cafe although usually busy weekends so if you are looking for a long break on your tour in the weekend I definitely recommend

One of my regular stops for coffee. New cafe open soon! You can cycle through the middle of the reserve - it’s a bridleway. Also along one edge from the cafe/shop to the station. Most paths closed to cycles due to ground nesting birds.
