Trying to figure out where I want to ride a bike this summer. Looking at a self guided tour from Bristol to Hunstanton, but want a bit more road time after that. So thinking of going south to Canterbury to end my trip at a major cathedral like last year. Route 1 appears to go where I want to go, but not sure it is the most scenic route nor what it is like going through the outskirts of London. There appear to be some alternatives south of Ipswich. Are there any ferryboats that get one to the south side of the River Thames so as to avoid London? If so, any suggestions for say Route 13 to Tilbury or East Tilbury? Or Route 16 to Southend-on-Sea? Would prefer the flatter, more scenic, less industrial route. Then again, if Route 1 will be better maintains, well marked, relatively flat and have great accommodations along it, maybe I should just take it. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. |
