The Chequers Pub and Matching Green Common

Highlight • Pub

There's a pub (currently serving takeaway during COVID) and a massive common for picnics in the sun. Trees dotted around for shade and a pond. Very quiet and relaxing.

Public Bridleway

Highlight • Trail

For me, give this a miss. Hedges/thorns on both sides, overhanging trees and the going is hard. A puncture waiting to happen. The road is far easier.

Thorny Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Entirely under cover with thorns and hedges on both sides. A puncture waiting to happen.
