Great straight line, best done uphill

A step/ride back to the 17th century!

This lovely country road travels through the charming village of Bishopstone and allows you to soak up wide open spaces and far-reaching views. There is a nearby pub called The Harrow which is a great place to refuel.

Pednor House is a Grade II listed building in Chartridge, Buckinghamshire. Originally a 17th-century farmhouse, it was enlarged in 1910 under the architects Forbes and Tate in the Arts and Crafts style. The house is a large U-shaped structure with a cylindrical dovecote and stands in a beautiful setting. The grounds were originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll.

As you turn off Dagnall Road, get into a low gear and take it easy. You don't want to be going into the red before the twisty steep bit, as it feels really narrow and if you put your foot down it might be hard to get going again.

This stretch of road is called Park Gate. From the top of Park Gate you have extensive southerly views to Mentmore ridge, Mentmore Towers (1850s) and beyond to the Chiltern escarpment are spectacular. Park Gate is set within former parkland of Wing Park which also housed extensive gardens of a lost mid-16th century manor house.

As English villages in the Chiltern Hills go, this one is one of the most attractive. This is the kind of place I tend to think of when I read Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. The village name is Anglo-Saxon and means "a woodland clearing". Another little fun fact: Sir Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843–1917), proprietor of the famous Regent Street (London) store, Liberty & Co., lived here and built a Manor house here in 1900. He was associated with the Art Nouveau style.
