Quick ride by bicycle from Witham to Tiptree

This leisurely ride takes you from the historic market town of Witham to the famous village of Tiptree, known for its world-renowned Wilkin & Sons jam. The route is just over 13 km—perfect for a relaxed afternoon adventure—with gently rolling terrain and around 70 meters of ascent, so it’s beginner-friendly but keeps things interesting.

You’ll start in Witham, whose roots stretch back to Saxon times, and pedal out along a mix of quiet roads, cycleways, and country tracks. About half the ride is on paved or asphalt surfaces, with some gravel and unpaved sections thrown in for a bit of rural flavor.

As you approach Tiptree, you’ll roll through farmland and peaceful Essex countryside. Make sure to pop into the Tiptree Jam Factory at your journey’s end—whether you’re up for a coffee, a cream tea, or just to browse their local products, it’s a sweet way to finish your ride!
