Lying in a rolling Buckinghamshire landscape of arable fields, pasture and woodland, Foxcote Reservoir is the kind of place that rewards patient visitors. Created in 1956 by damming a small tributary of the River Great Ouse, this site has become important for the numbers of wintering waterfowl, especially wigeon and coot. https://www.bbowt.org.uk/nature-reserves/foxcote-reservoir

A beautiful park with an obelisk as the centrefold, built in 2012 to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Gravel road link towards Hethe. Some short sharp ups and downs and a couple of blind bends - watch out for dog walkers!

Picturesque gravel road from Cottisford, links well with routes into Tusmore or on towards Hethe

Good dirt/gravel road between Buckingham and Bicester. If it's been raining a lot it can get boggy, but generally fine on a mountain bike with nice wide tyres.
