In quarter-hour film contributions for a German-language television series, Tilmann Spengler introduces the culturally interested viewer to the life and work of important writers and authors from all eras. One of the ladies he honors as "Classics of World Literature" is the British author of "Pride and Prejudice" (to name her most famous work): * JANE AUSTEN (1775 to 1817). The contribution (in German) can be found in the ARD media library at the following link =>> https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/jane-austen-stolz-und-vorurteil/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvL2NiOGJhYTI3LTkxYzMtNDRiNi05NjNlLTRlYzg2NDNmY2E5Ng

The iconic bridge that spans Hertford College's campuses. A nice sport to ride if somewhat hidden.

J. R . R. Tolkien often visited Brill when he lived in Oxford, and used it as his basis of Bree where beloved character Frodo Baggins meets Aragorn for the first time.

Unless we didn’t find the right entrance to this path at the Princes Risborough end, off Lower Icknield Way, there is no way this is a bike path for a while. Right next to Horsenden Farms is a Pink Route that goes over thick grass (not rideable) and as far as we could see, still on grass with thick thorny weeds - we decided to give up and turn back. The track leading to Horsenden Farm is signposted as not having access to Phoenix Trail. We did not find any signs pointing to the trail around where the maps say it is.
