This is a lovely singletrack through Pulpit Hill showcasing the beautiful landscapes of the Chilterns. It's in an elevated position so you can enjoy views of rolling hills, lush valleys and patchwork fields.

This is a great single track that goes up through Pond Wood, past Longdown Farm, and onwards into Pulpit Wood. It can be muddy in bad weather. It is an established trail though and forms part of the Icknield Way Trail, so beware of hikers and other path users.

This path overlooking a valley was rideable on a gravel bike in peak-summer, even while it had been drizzling for the last hour.

On a gravel bike, one packed for a multi-day exploration of the Icknield Way, this was one of the more challenging, slow-going segments due to the narrowness and roots.
