In additional to the main route, there are several shorter ‘Wolf Cub’ route options designed to be completed in one day, and family-friendly ‘Wolverine’ routes of less than 10 miles, making it more accessible to a wider range of riders, to encourage more folks to ride their bikes and discover Suffolk, to improve physical, mental and climate health.
ABOUT THE WOLF WAY
From the earliest Neolithic settlements in Europe to the Roman cities of Ipswich and Dunwich, Suffolk has a fascinating history. The Wolf Way takes its name from the protector of St Edmund, whose legacy echoes around the whole of Suffolk and East Anglia in place names, monasteries and monuments. It picks up parts of the Icknield Way, one of the ancient ‘King’s Highways’ – wide sandy tracks forged in a time before land enclosure. The route takes you through beautiful heathland rich with wildlife, like the stone-curlews at Cavenham Heath, wading birds at Minsmere, and Exmoor ponies helping to re-wild Knettishall Heath. Suffolk has 142 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), and you’ll pass close to many of these on the ride. You’ll also pay a visit to the most easterly location in the British Isles: Ness Point in Lowestoft.
