The Lion Free House

Highlight • Pub

The pub spills onto the village green with great views over the hills. Nice little pub this one with good food and beer. Pretty sure it's open now but check ahead if you detour here.

Gravel Road in Chilterns National Landscape

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Blow me, these things actually exist in the Home Counties. The road extends west than I’ve shown here into the woodland but this is the iconic all American gravel road segment. Descent runs west to east and can be FAST.
