This was beautiful ride I done solo. This reminded me of Tuscany with beautiful fields and villages. Amazing. Highly recommended. It was a sunny weekend when I done it so looked magnificent.

A good challenging hill with some nice cottages on top to reward you for it

The common in Great Milton is a great place to stop and refuel on your cycle. Just around the corner is a luxury hotel and restaurant, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, if you fancy treating yourself.

Here the route is much better and whilst there isn't much in the way of scenery the surface is solid and the roads relatively quite with offroad routes nearby into oxford at Brasenose Wood.

This is a terrible section of the cycle network on B roads that are used by heavy haulage and on very low lying land resulting in dangerous fast roads with heavy goods vehicles that is often flooded, I would avoid this section when planning any tours, however there are precious little options for traversing this area, probably why there was little choice but to route the 57 on these roads.
