マーシュギボンでののおすすめライド

If coming from Launton via Station Road there is a nice warm up over the new bridge over the East - West rail line. Around 10m at just over 5%.

Marsh Gibbon is a lovely village and this is a lovely spot to rest your legs

A quaint selection of thatched cottages to admire as you roll by on the well paved roads.

The church is St. Mary & St. Edburga

Great back garden. Not easily visible from road.

cycling through the sheep field led to a little step over the river that took me back on the track

"St Leonard's is in rural Buckinghamshire. It is a grade II* listed building and is on the heritage at risk register. Records regarding the church date back to 1223, part of the nave is probably from the 12th century and the chancel dates from the 14th century. The tower is circa 1460. There are wooden panels on the side of the pulpit which date from the 1620s and there are three marble monuments commemorating local dignitaries dating to the 18th century which are important pieces produced by Peter Gaspar Scheemakers. The stained glass windows on the north and west sides of the church are Victorian. It is thought William Shakespeare was arrested in the church porch and may have written a Midsummer Nights Dream based on his time in Grendon Underwood. Roald Dahl also lived in Grendon Underwood. There are leaflets in the church about these two people and also a quiz for younger visitors to complete." Cit. https://www.explorechurches.org/church/st-leonard-grendon-underwood

Fabulous view when coming downhill. Head West fron Poundon to get to this point otherwise you'll have a steep ascent!!
