It's gravelly and it's beautiful. Would avoid with expensive road bikes. The trail itself goes all the way to Thame along a disused railway. There is a level crossing which spreads the ballast for the tracks across the road -- fine on a mountain bike, tricky on a gravel bike with anything less than 40mm tyres. It's only for 10yards or so, so you can walk if needs be.

It's quite bumpy, until you reach Oxfordshire - where the tarmac is in good condition
