Saxlingham Bridleroute

The Saxlingham Bridleroute is a 13 mile (21km) circular ride, with optional circuits of 4 miles at Bergh Apton and 3 miles at Saxlingham Nethergate. It follows minor country lanes, soft lanes and bridleways, and passes through a landscape of small villages, hedgerows and woods, which are reminiscent of an English pastoral life more than a century distant. It takes the rider through the South Norfolk parishes of Poringland, Brooke, Saxlingham Nethergate and Shotesham.
