great gravel path. In my opinion an unexperienced cyclist could struggle a bit due to the sandy bits, i.e. my mum. In general super quite and great fund. I did it with a road bike - possible but not as much fun as with a gravel bike. In general, do not go on your road bike.

Quiet lane around the punchbowl which used to be the old A3 which is now a by-way, great way to access trails.
