Suffolk Coast Bike Ride

Suffolk Coast Bike Ride - Sunday 7 August 2011

Join us for a beautiful Summer day's cycling in the tranquil Suffolk countryside, and explore the beautiful Suffolk Coast with family and friends. Finishing at Glemham Hall, a magnificent Elizabethan mansion, you can celebrate with refreshments and a well-earned certificate!

There’s a choice of two routes of 35 & 60 miles. Both head north through pretty countryside and villages before splitting at Sibton.

The short route then swings east to Dunwich on the coast, while the longer continues north to reach Covehithe with its curious ‘Russian Doll’ churches.



Following the coast south through sleepy Southwold and Walberswick, the long route rejoins the short at Dunwich, crossing open heathland back to the finish at Glemham Hall.

Glemham Hall is north of Woodbridge, on the A12. If you are taking part in the Suffolk Coast Bike Ride you will be interested to know that there are a number of accommodation options nearby, such as - -
