*WARNING* As of 25/4/26 the footbridge across the river is shut so you cannot access the footpath. Which means the route from Summer Lane Bromeswell is a dead end.

I presume the 'No Cycles' sign refers to leaning your bikes against the wall, rather than meaning 'No Cyclists'!

Fun, flowy singletrack through the forest. The Viking Trail is a fantastic 10-mile (16km) red graded route.

Fronts directly on to the pavement with just a couple of tables and nowhere really to leave a bike. Maybe ok if there's a couple of you, so one can look after the bikes while the other goes in, but solo riders or larger groups would be better somewhere else.

On a busy main road and with obscure access. Not the best option.
