Nettlebed Brick Kiln

A totally amazing sight, this! This is a brick kiln, built in the late 17th or early 18th century. Nettlebed produced first tiles and then bricks from the medieval times until the 20th century.

St Paul's Church, Highmoor Cross

Highlight • Religious Site

'Parish church, built as chapel of ease 1859. Designed by Joseph Morris of Reading; built by Robert Owthwaite of Henley-on-Thames. Nave, chancel, single-storey vestry to south.

[...]

St. Paul's is a simple but pleasing mid Victorian church, little if at all altered. It is by a local architect and makes a positive contribution to Highmoor, notably through the predominant use of flint which is a distinctive local building material. The church represents the High Victorian desire to improve the provision of places of worship in rural areas such as this.'

Greys Court

Highlight • Historical Site

Greys Court is a Tudor country house and gardens in the southern Chiltern Hills at Rotherfield Greys, near Henley-on-Thames in the county of Oxfordshire, England.

As "Redrefield" it was the principal manor of the six manors held in 1086 (as listed in the Domesday Book) by the Norman knight Anchetil de Greye (c.1052- post-1086), ancestor of the prominent Grey family.

The mainly Tudor-style house has a courtyard and gardens. The walled gardens contain old-fashioned roses and wisteria, an ornamental vegetable garden, maze (laid to grass with brick paths, dedicated by Archbishop Robert Runcie on 12 October 1981) and ice house. Within its grounds are the fortified tower built circa 1347, the only remains of the medieval castle, overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside, as well as a Tudor wheelhouse.

The house remains furnished as a family home, with some outstanding 18th-century plasterwork interiors. It is a Grade I listed building.

Cit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greys_Court

The house is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public.

It has been used as a filming location for TV series like "Downton Abbey", "Agatha Christie's Poirot" and as "Midsomer Priory" in the "Midsomer Murders" series.

Stonor Valley to Pishill Road

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A good section to ride in either direction, although some rough surfaces can be felt travelling south between Stonor and Henley (no loose gravel, but bumpy tarmac). A long climb from Henley, or a speedy descent from the top.
