King John's Nursery

Highlight • Structure

Hidden away down a sleepy country lane, a nursery, garden and café lie nestled within the oaks of the High Weald of East Sussex. The nursery was created out of two derelict 1950s chicken sheds and the owner’s passion for growing plants, but has evolved into an escape from the usual. An eclectic range of things to buy in the shop, a beautifully styled rustic café and a stunning garden make it a special place to visit and well worth the detour.

King's Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

One of the longer climbs in the region. The road climbs several kilometers from the north to the south. It is only a bit steeper at the bottom, after which it mainly rises slowly. It is mainly the length that can make this climb a bit spicy at pace.

Mad Jack Fuller's Pyramid Mausoleum

Highlight • Monument

In addition to the grave pyramid for John Fuller, whose nickname was "MAD JACK", which is located here in the cemetery, there are a number of buildings to be discovered in the area, which are sometimes referred to as "Fully's Follies". For example:

=> a round temple

(see komoot.de/highlight/1497509) and

=> a tower called “Sugar Loaf”.

Judges Bakery Café

Highlight • Cafe

Nice local bakery with cafe. Perfect as a stopover during your bike ride. In addition to whole loaves of bread, the bakery also sells lunch sandwiches, biscuits, cake, milk, soft drinks, beers and of course coffee: everything from black to cappuccinos and flat whites. In addition, they also sell provisions that someone would enjoy on a cycling holiday: everything from pasta to jam, so you can also buy whole loaves of bread at this bakery and spread them immediately for the road. There are seating areas inside, but you can also sit outside in the sun in the summer.

Robertsbridge High Street

Highlight • Settlement

A rural village, pedalling through Robertsbridge is a step back in time. Medieval timber framed buildings, a church mentioned in the Doomsday Book and the ruins of Robertsbridge Abbey all point to its deep history. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you cycle up the high street.
