Good stopping point on this route, shaded by trees , time to cool down, take a sip from your drink bottle, munch a bar, and contemplate the meaning of John Clare's words. Meditate upon his greatest wish to be at home with family and friends as he anticipates his death but note his optimism when, though linking death to winter, he draws on the symbolism of the evergreen laurel and plays with the word "leaves". And so by now it is time for you to leave and hope you are not to be further occupied waiting for a train at the Helpston crossing. Happy Cycling - its lovely country.

Very nice area for walking, cycling and all sorts of outdoor activities, but it might get flooded in the winter and sometimes spring as well so check the water levels, I would avoid it when 2.00 or more. check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk/station/6286

Good long section of bridleway. Some quite large gravel so bit slippy in places so slow and cautious is the approach for olds like me. Excellent section to include in your ride though.

A maze of quiet lanes to pedal around in the area. A lovely inn, but pricey; the kind of place to go to for a treat.
