This forest belongs to National Trust. It's part of the old "London Weye" (Oxford to London, established in 1718). A very pleasant beech wood, just off A40, eventually emerging onto the fields near Icknield Way.

A really beautiful track through the fields, with rolling and wooded hills to accompany you to your north (Crowell Wood and High Wood). There is a sense of peace here, and in the summer, you will see red poppies brightening your day.

This is one of the quarries here, a part of the former Chinnor Chalk Pit, now flooded and known as Old Kiln Lakes. The lakes are freshwater, but very alkaline, and there was a warning to the public issued in 2012 to not swim in there. It's a striking and moon-like place, looking very dramatic and slightly out-of-this-world. A definite must!

An absolutely gorgeous walk on this lane through Fire Wood - beeches all year round, of course, and bluebells in the spring and summer! Truly stunning here.

A somewhat rough-looking church, at least from the outside. It has a Norman west tower and many 13th and 14th century features. It's a Grade II listed building, and it's listed on the National Heritage List for England.

Truly stunning views are to be had from the short stretch on the Sunken Way Walk in Aston Rowant Nature Reserve. This is the Beacon Hill area, with fantastic green slopes to accompany and below you, past M40, there is an amazing long view to the west. This set of well-maintained paths has benches placed on it, so sitting down comfortably for a break should not be a problem, either.

Mind the entrance !!! Height limit, so take off any bikes or roof boxes
