A cycle ride featuring eco-angels is set to take place.

The 25-mile ride will take place on Saturday, September 14, with the Norfolk Churches Trust Bike Ride.

It will be an opportunity to view six handmade models from this summer’s Eco-Angels trail, with the option to extend the ride to see all nine trail churches.

Each eco-angel, representing environmental champions, was crafted from recycled materials by local school children.

The route starts and finishes in Aylsham, incorporating historic and modern landmarks.

The cycle path beside the Bure Valley Railway leads the way, with the possibility of a detour to Horstead church to see the willow model of Norfolk naturalist Ted Ellis.

The main route takes cyclists to Marsham to see Greta Thunberg, then on to Cawston Church to find the Womble Great Uncle Bulgaria.

The journey continues north to Southgate, then through Oulton Street to Itteringham, where St Mary’s church houses the eco-angel of Dr Tony Leech, a Norfolk fungi expert.

The route then heads to Aldborough church, which, despite not having its eco-angel model of Chris Packham, boasts impressive eco-credentials.

For those wishing to complete the eco-angel trail in one ride, a loop south of Cawston takes in Weston Longville, Easton, Hockering, and Lyng, each with their own unique eco-angels.

The annual sponsored Norfolk Churches Trust Bike Ride raises funds for churches across the county.

The Eco-Angels Trail was created by churches in the Ingworth and Sparham Deanery, in partnership with Scrapbox, the Reepham-based re-use charity.

Copies of the trail are available in the churches or can be downloaded from ecoangels.uk.

The trail includes models of cartoon character Lisa Simpson, robot film character WALL-E, King Charles III, and others - all made from recycled materials.

The event is a celebration of creativity, community, and environmental awareness.
