Broadland Northway
This major road in Norwich now has a number of cycle paths running alongside it.
You can start the ride just east of the city centre, near the Broadland Business Park. Then cycle north towards Thorpe End, Rackheath, Spixworth and Horsham St Faith, next to the airport.
See the blue lines on the open street map below to find out where the cycle paths are along the road. It's hoped that there will be cycle paths and walking trails along the whole road soon.
Head west from the trail and you could explore the new Broadland Country Park. The park includes cycling and walking trails with woodland and lots of wildlife to see. Horsford Woods is also located in this area.

Norwich Airport tower and adjacent air museum. The City of Norwich Aviation Museum is not part of the airport but lies next to the control tower. This image was taken from TG2113 but there is an operational airfield in between viewpoint and subject so getting closer is tricky.
