Balsham Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A bit mucky in the wet but delightfully dusty in the dry, this bridleway links the village of Balsham to the Roman Road.

Pass between hedges and along field margins as you head south from the village to join the dead straight old road.

The Old Butchers Coffee Shop

Highlight • Cafe

Church of Holy Trinity, Balsham

Highlight • Historical Site

In a serene spot on the outskirts of Balsham, the Church of Holy Trinity is a picturesque place of worship that dates to the 13th century. Boasting medieval stained glass in the north aisle, a 13th-century font, and fine examples of 15th-century choir stalls, the Grade I-listed church is well worth a visit.

The Bell

Highlight • Cafe

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.
