Marked by a sign '37 1/2 Miles to the North Downs Way'. All 23mm tyres abandon, ye who enter here! Actually it's 37.5 miles (60.3 km) of mostly nice gravel trails. I did a good portion of them on my road bike with 25mm winter tyres, which handled it fine, although you feel every bump.

A great way to head out of town and scenic too.
