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!

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

Aston Hill, on which you are here, was part of Lord Rothschild's Estate, and was a motoring venue between 1904 and 1925. Lionel Martin made the first ascent of this hill in a Singer car on the 4th April 1914. Shortly afterwards, in May the same year, at the Herts County Automobile and Aero Club Meeting he was so successful that the first light sporting car registered in his name in March 1915 was called "Aston-Martin". This plaque here was put by the Aston Martin Owners Club and Aston Martin Lagonda Limited. Aston Hill is also a viewpoint, but the panoramic view is obscured somewhat by the tall trees.

This Tower was built in memory of Francis Egerton, who was the Third Duke of Bridgewater. Egerton was an expert in inland navigation. He was involved in the construction of the Bridgewater Canal (joining Worsley and Manchester), which is the first modern British canal. He also built the canal joining Liverpool and Manchester. Not only that, but he made 2 million pounds out of these adventures and ventures. Be sure to walk up to the top of the Tower. The views from up there are tremendous.

This place has amazing icecream and sorbet. Not to mention the chocolate!

This is a lovely, family run cafe that serves gorgeous hot beverages and delicious food. It enjoys marvellous views across the Chiltern countryside. There are plenty of activities to enjoy nearby, from hiking and cycling to a Go Ape course up in the trees.

Roots add a bit to the challenge of riding this section on a gravel bike, and extra caution in the wet.

Wendover is a lovely little town. A great place to rest your feet with a coffee, cup of tea or a celebratory drink to finish the hike. A good place to gather some supplies too, if needed.
