We’ve got a 5-10% discount for cyclists looking for somewhere to stay along The Cathedrals Cycle Route. Our Old Brooder Bunkhouse is just 3.75 miles off the 56-mile St Edmundsbury Cathedral to Chelmsford Cathedral CCR15 section of the 2,000-mile cycle route. This wonderful route goes through stunning English landscapes, traversing between the 42 Church of England cathedrals. Mostly on paved surfaces, the route is not signposted, but very often you are following an existing cycle route. And we can offer you a comfortable bed – and sometimes a meal – at the end of a lovely day’s cycling in Suffolk and Essex! Quote the CCR 5-10% discount – depending on group size.
