Each of these routes are varied in distance and terrains.
Kessingland to Lowestoft Loop.
This is a lovely route which takes in the beauty of what the Suffolk coast has to offer. Heading off from Kessingland, you will head straight into Pakefield and then onto Lowestoft seafront. Why not stop along the way for a cup of tea, ice cream or even some tasty fish and chips.
You can even travel up through Lowestoft to Ness point, which is the most easterly part of England. Well worth the extra distance and a great photo opportunity!
Once you’ve taken in all the sites, head back along the colourful beach hut lined seafront back towards Kessingland. Why not stop for a cheeky drink at the Jolly Sailor pub, located on top of Pakefield cliffs, before heading back to Kessingland.

A lovely cycle route through the historical towns of Gisleham and Mutford.
