Great Yarmouth / River Bure / Breydon Water
Discussion
Hello,
I'm off to work in GY for a few days each week soon, and wanted to take a bicycle to get some exercise. I'd really like to take the 29er MTB and get away from traffic. Is anyone local that could advise on whether the paths along the River Bure (as far as Acle) and Breydon Water (to Burgh Castle) are cyclable? Are they weather / season dependant?
Any other recommendations? I'm thinking 20-30km loops from the Premier Inn near the Pleasure Beach.
Thanks
DB
PS Pic for attention

It's all very flat. This may help: https://www.great-yarmouth.gov.uk/media/2138/Great...I'm off to work in GY for a few days each week soon, and wanted to take a bicycle to get some exercise.

Why's it on the cooker?

The cooker - I think it was a fad at the time to show your new bike in an unsuitable place... Why's it on the cooker?
Anyway - thanks for the map - I'd seen that - I was looking to get off the roads and I found a nice path along the river. And yes it's flat (but windy!).
I can't find it anywhere, but there's a fairly 'keen' group who do MTB Mondays during the winter and regularly used to ride along that path you've highlighted and across part of the Angles Way.
They'd loop from Lowestoft and would be about 40 miles (I was often invited, but the 18mph off road averages put me off!!)
From where you're talking you could take in a nice off road route heading South and then bike the coast back up.
Loads of bridleways South of Fritton Lake, getting over the bridge will be the worst part.
I've done a few routes where i've just been riding and seen a path and explored if i've had an evening free.
