Haydon Bridge 18m Loop --Submitted by Clive Matthews
18.02 miles (29 km)
This route has something for everybody. There is some off road stuff which is possible on a road bike, though in recent wet weather, my 23c tyres weren't up to the last 1km! A 35mph descent into Haydon Bridge and mostly very quiet B roads. Allow 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours. A must do is afternoon tea at Langley Castle, great value and terrific experience.
