I stopped here for lunch. There’s some seating around a tree. I notices some water taps around the edge of the small woods, looking down at the run way beneath. Please take your rubbish with you.

Cycled this in dry weather on my gravel bike in summer and really enjoyed every part of it. A little overgrown in a few places. I would imagine in the wet or after heavy rainfall, this to be hard work.

This excellent gravel track winds through the Chilterns, alternating between single and double track. As you traverse farmland and woodland you'll be treated to expansive and far-reaching views.
