This is a great single track that goes up through Pond Wood, past Longdown Farm, and onwards into Pulpit Wood. It can be muddy in bad weather. It is an established trail though and forms part of the Icknield Way Trail, so beware of hikers and other path users.

Boasting magnificent views over the Vale of Aylesbury, Chinnor Hill is a patchwork of calcareous wildflower grassland, scrub and woodland. A network of bridleways including stretches of the ancient Ridgeway National Trail offer many miles of outstanding riding.

Sign says closed to May 2025. Had to go back up the trail into the woods and take alternative route to Wendover

Still closed in 2024...

On a gravel bike, one packed for a multi-day exploration of the Icknield Way, this was one of the more challenging, slow-going segments due to the narrowness and roots.

Holy Trinity is a Grade I listed building. This Romanesque church dates back to the 12th century (at least the preserved parts of it do). The tower has 8 bells, the south porch has Buckinghamshire's oldest doors (apparently!), and fragments of medieval paintings and 16th century texts are on the walls.

This segment is mainly "twin track" on a chalk base. Lovely in dry and makes a great gravel bike segment

In the wet this is a slog
