Stop at No2 Pound Street (adjacent to the mini roundabout up the hill) Their main business is a delicatessen specialising in cheese and wine ... but you can grab a tea/cofffee with cake or a toastie, Sit outside or in depending on the weather! Highly recommended. If you've room in your saddlebag, grab a bottle of wine, with some excellent cheese, having taken note of the expert advice from the staff!

Final part of the route is quite narrow and plants have overgrown further narrowing the path

Today, only a few of them are still in operation in their original function; instead, they often serve as mere technical and historical monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: The heavy millstones inside were moved solely by the power of the wind, for example, grinding grain into flour (so-called grain mills) or pressing oil from fruits (e.g., olives) (so-called oil mills). Thus, these old windmills are the best proof that people were clever enough to harness the power of the wind several centuries ago – long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed it.

I like to make my way to the nearby Monument Cafe for some tea and cake, or a venison burger. All at reasonable prices. Beautiful scenery for miles around 🚴🏼‍♂️

There was a bicycle-incompatible gate between the woodland and meadow parts incl. faded "no bicycles" sign, although it appears to be a bridleway.

This path overlooking a valley was rideable on a gravel bike in peak-summer, even while it had been drizzling for the last hour.

Well rideable on a gravel bike and includes the Icknield Way (ridgeway)

There is a lovely little weir on the River Chess here that's worth stopping by. Also, on the same pond, you will see stepping stones (called Steps of Heaven by some) if you'd like to walk across! A good few years ago, I used to live in the street right next to these ponds, so I can vouch for the fact that this is a great place to spend some time at, particularly in the summer.
