A longer ride, mainly along quiet country lanes but with several short sections along busier roads. A tour of the villages on either side of the River Bure, this route provides a real taste of Broadland life, from the bustling boating centres of Horning and Wroxham, to the quieter picturesque villages of Woodbastwick and Ranworth.

There are plenty of refreshment stops, and cycle hire is available Bewilderwood, offering car parking facilities.

You can also visit Ranworth Broad Conservation Centre, Cockshoot Broad Nature Reserve, Fairhaven Gardens, and St. Helens Church, Ranworth.

Sadly, the passenger ferry that has run across the river at the Ferry Inn in previous years is no longer operating so it is not now possible to make this a circular ride across the river in either direction.

Note also that the marsh road from Woodbastwick to the south bank of the river opposite the Ferry Inn is often flooded and impassable for cyclists.
