Braintree District offers the cyclist a great variety of cycling from quiet country lanes which meander through picturesque villages and historic sites, to more challenging hillier routes which explore the depths of the rural countryside and medieval market towns.
From genteel family routes, which are ideal for those with young children and a great opportunity to explore your local area to 30 miles of inter-linking routes connecting areas of interest.
Retrace the 2014 Tour De France route through Finchingfield and Rayne, visit places of interest off the beaten track or fuel your ride by stopping at one our popular cafes on The Cake Escape Trail or visit local producers on The Grape and Grain Trail.
Follow Route 16 of the National Cycle Network which connects Great Dunmow, Braintree and Witham or see our maps and cycle routes, for a wealth of information and inspiration.
There is no better way to explore our beautiful District than by bike.
