  • Six Circular Cycle Routes Starting from Thetford
    Six Circular Cycle Routes Starting from Thetford Base map cartography (c) OSM Foundation, CC BY-SA. Map data (c) OpenStreetMap Contributors, ODbL. Thetford Town Circular (10km; town roads and cycleways) A 10km circular route around the town. Mostly on quiet roads and smooth off-road cycleways. There is one 200m section on the A1066, where you could walk along the pavement instead, and one rough section along Joe Blunt’s Lane. High Lodge Loop (25km; quiet roads and forest tracks) From the centre of Thetford, follow Sustrans Route 30 on quiet roads north via Croxton to Santon Downham, then take forest tracks to the High Lodge Forest Centre. Return to Thetford via forest tracks and then alongside the Little Ouse river. Harling Road Loop (33km; quiet roads, one short busier section) From Thetford, take Sustrans Route 13 north to East Wrethem, then cut across via Illington to Harling Road Station. Continue via Roudham to Bridgham, and then return to Thetford along Sustrans Route 30. The route is completely on tarmacked roads. There is one slightly busy section of about 1.5km on the B1111 down to Harling Road. Barnham and Knettishall Loop (40km; quiet roads, one off-road section) Leave Thetford on the new cycleway alongside the A11, and then take the C633 to Barnham. Continue east to Knettishall Heath, and then return following Sustrans Route 13. It’s awkward to get to the start of the A11 cycleway from the town centre, as there is no cycle path along most of London Road. The route is all tarmacked apart from a 2km off-road section along Bridgham Lane.
