From reports and the previous pictures, I had avoided this section of the Roman Road (east of Hildersham Rd) in the rainy, cold months. It does look nicer and ride well enough in the summer, albeit bumpy due to tractor tracks.

The Devil's Dyke stretches from Reach to Woodditton through Newmarket. It is an 11km bank with a ditch on the south west side. In parts it is as high as 9m tall. It is thought to be Anglo-Saxon and a defense barrier.

This village is supposed to have various pubs and cafes to stop at. In fact on a sunny Saturday afternoon in May this was the only place open - so they should be on Komoot as a reliable stop.
