Great coffee and lunches

This closed at the end of January 2024.

Stunning little pond on Penn Common with a charming pub nearby. A great place to stop for a break, or just to enjoy the view as you ride past. Especially beautiful as the sun is going down.

These two plantations are part of the larger Common Wood here. Lovely views towards Hazlemere Golf Club to the west, and there is a great bench to sit on here. Otherwise, just a great forest for jogging.

Winchmore Hill goes back to the 12th century: there used to be a small settlement here supporting farms grouped around a Common and a pond (those were the days). In 1958, the pond was filled in, but luckily the Common is still here, on the edge of what used to be Wycombe Heath: 4,000 acres of open common land providing grazing for animals and material for firewood. It's a lovely hamlet. There is a great information board, from which you can learn more about the history of the place. And a good pub in a village can never be wrong! - so make sure you make a stop at The Plough!

This here is one of the entrances to the beautiful Penn Wood. It's a truly spectacular bit of woodland: dense, green, with lovely paths to run on. Some trees are ancient: one, thought to be the oldest in the wood, is the Holey Oak (there is a hole in the trunk...), and the other is the Penn Pollard, memorable for its very open crown. You're in for a treat here!

Great pub in Winchmore Hill. A good stop off point, whether you want a coffee, a beer or some pizza!

Note: despite the title, there is no coffee for sale here!
