Tips from the Community
Stop at No2 Pound Street (adjacent to the mini roundabout up the hill) Their main business is a delicatessen specialising in cheese and wine ... but you can grab a tea/cofffee with cake or a toastie, Sit outside or in depending on the weather! Highly recommended. If you've room in your saddlebag, grab a bottle of wine, with some excellent cheese, having taken note of the expert advice from the staff!

Beautiful view across the countryside as well as the memorial. There is a good gravel track from just next to the car park entrance on Lodge Hill, so is fine for a road-bike when dry.

Stiftung Lesen review: A little mouse is walking around in the forest and enjoying life. And then she meets a fox, an owl and a snake, all of whom invite her to their homes very warmly and certainly without any ulterior motives. Fortunately, the little mouse is not stupid. And so she politely but firmly declines the invitations - because she already has a date: with the Gruffalo! He has terrible claws, teeth, tusks and paws and loves to eat fox skewers, snake puree or owls with icing. No wonder that the would-be hosts make a hasty getaway. And the mouse is having a great time, because she just invented the Gruffalo! Or maybe not?? A wonderfully rhymed read-aloud at its finest, which with lots of imagination, wit and hidden meaning will delight not only children from around 5 years of age.

Interesting place of ancient fort. You can see barriers from soil and imagine how high they were 7000 years ago.

The hill (260m) is in the middle of the Wendover Woods. It'd be difficult to tell unless you know, but there is an Iron Age hill fort here, which would've been a very strong position in the past. Once you know, it's possible to find the fort's remains amongst the trees. There is an information board here, providing further information about the site.
