Red Lion Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

A nice hill that has a few false summits when climbing. The surface is usually a bit potholey/gritty on the way down, so watch yourself.

Nettleden Road

Highlight • Cycleway

Just some classic beautiful riding through the northern ends of the Chiltern Hills near Nettledon. You can pop into nearby Hemel Hempstead for a whole range of great restaurants, pubs and cafs to refuel.

A step back in time. This lane passes many medieval farms and houses. The Alford Arms is one of the best gastro pubs in the area.

Golden Valley, Ashridge Estate

Highlight • Natural

View of the creative design of Ashridge Estate, the golden valley. The Golden Valley is one of the finest areas of the Ashridge Estate and is a nod to its aristocratic past. Originally not a valley at all, this feature was built by celebrated landscape architect 'Capability' Brown between 1759-1768 to highlight the impressive grounds of Ashridge House. Due to the sloping and gentle bends at first glance it looks like the valley goes on endlessly, when in reality it only stretches a short distance.

Watch out for the junction in the valley.

View of the Downs and Vale, Chilterns National Landscape

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

The road is set back from the best views, as the road levels out look for gaps that provide access to the best views of the Downs and Vale
