Views and woodland on both sides, pretty nippy and reasonably flat so you'll get some good speeds here. As do the cars, unfortunately, which is the only let down of this stunning road section. It's still worth doing as the road is reasonably wide and for the most part, I was given distance on a rainy Tuesday afternoon, despite drivers going over 70mph.

You only get brief glimpses of the Aylesbury Vale far below if you stick to the road. The view is mostly obscured by trees. It's worth stopping when the views open and find a place to get a better look - it's a stunning view onto the plain below. It's still a road worth riding just don't expect easy vista's. I found the traffic was okay on a Saturday morning, and there were lots of cyclists using the road for company.
