A beautiful section of cycling through the Waddesdon Estate, a historic estate purchased and maintained by the Rothschild family.

Holy Trinity is a Grade I listed building. This Romanesque church dates back to the 12th century (at least the preserved parts of it do). The tower has 8 bells, the south porch has Buckinghamshire's oldest doors (apparently!), and fragments of medieval paintings and 16th century texts are on the walls.

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.

Looks like great gentle cycling - can anyone please recommend a good circular route on predominately car free roads?

The roads on the west of the Mill are the easiest to ascent, the steepest is for descending is to the south towards Oakley

Based on previous comments, I am unclear whether this is a footpath or a shared path (please be considerate to pedestrian and dog walkers if you cycle through, keep your speed down and give plenty of notice πŸ™‚), but this segment is regularly used by Audax events going in both directions, so I'd hope the organisers did their research and did not send us through a footpath... πŸ™„ The park is extremely well maintained and the road surface very good. If cycling north-west to south-east be aware of the steep climb at the end, just before the gate: a low granny gear or good legs are thoroughly recommended unless you want to walk up the last part of the lane (conversely, be cautious if you cycle in the other direction as the descent is steep and there is a bend at the bottom). The gap for bikes and pedestrian on the south entrance is a bit of a squeeze, so be advised you may struggle if you are carrying panniers or similar. On the north side the gap is wider and should not be a problem for most bikes.
