Bluebell Cottage

A 'get away from it all' explorer loop taking you from bustling Burnham Market deep into the Norfolk countryside. Through Stanhoe with its idyllic village pond, alongside Houghton Hall with the white fallow deer herd and then the iconic working Bircham Windmill. A country ride with fine views and the occasional challenging undulation along the way.

The route takes in quiet lanes and tracks across a landscape of low chalk hills which afford glorious coastal views. With a pub in the village on the longer Ringstead route, it is perfect for leisurely exploration.

The longest of these cycle routes is something to be savoured. With plentiful options for refreshment at both ends of the route, it’s easy to make a day of it as you explore the rolling landscapes that Nelson himself once knew. Much has changed since the Lord Admiral’s day, but it is easy to see why he gloried in being a Norfolk man.
