Forty Plus Cycling Club : 50th Anniversary Year

Terling Village, Essex.  The Southend Section cycling past beautifully kept old cottages and colour washed houses.

Terling Place, a splendid Georgian House, is the Strutt family home.  In 1836 a hereditary peerage was granted to the head of the family, who became Lord Rayleigh. Also there is a windmill where a man was whirled round on the sails on the film "Oh Mr Porter", starring Will Hay.  A wide ford across the River Ter is 3ft deep and has caught out many motorists. All Saints Church has an unusual sundial on the brick tower.
