In the lay-by near Stamfordham Village Hall,

Stamfordham is a great place to start a ride. There are lots of lovely routes from here. This is a 12 mile ride on quiet roads and country lanes. It's a gently undulating route through pretty Northumberland countryside and villages. Starting from Stamfordham we’ll cycle north to Black Heddon, then round through Wallridge before dropping down to Matfen, calling in at the coffee shop there for refreshments (bring some money if you'd like tea/coffee/cake) Then it’s a short ride back to Stamfordham. If the weather is bad we can take a more direct route to Matfen and back which is only 6 miles. We recommend a helmet, but they're not compulsory. A spare inner tube and a bike lock are also handy. This will be a leisurely, social ride (it’s all about a good chat and a nice bit of cake!). We always go at the pace of the slowest rider and never leave anyone behind. Newcomers to Breeze rides are especially welcome. You can contact me at [email protected] if you need any further details.
