This is a stunning route with lots of beautiful views and incredible walks. Slightly muddy and had to detour ever so slightly due to the track being fenced off in the first 5km but the rest of the route was perfect.

Like nearby Quainton Hill, Waddesdon Hill is a significant rise in the mostly flat landscape of the Vale of Aylesbury. Despite only attaining a height of 480 feet (146 m), its prominence rewards you with gorgeous views of Buckinghamshireโs patchwork countryside and beyond to the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. To the south west of the summit is a nonconformist chapel, founded in 1792. It is Grade II-listed.
