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.

Interesting place of ancient fort. You can see barriers from soil and imagine how high they were 7000 years ago.

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.

You can sometimes even spot wildlife here.

The hill (260m) is in the middle of the Wendover Woods. It'd be difficult to tell unless you know, but there is an Iron Age hill fort here, which would've been a very strong position in the past. Once you know, it's possible to find the fort's remains amongst the trees. There is an information board here, providing further information about the site.

Wrth stopping at the "Devils Own" Information board to see how the area was used in World War I by the Inns of Court Officer Training

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