Dovhouse Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

To my mind, a must: straight, slightly downhill section of road; good tarmac; little traffic; few intersections (all rare things). Probably the best segment to test your personal top speed!

Aldbury Village Pond

Highlight • Settlement

Wendover Village Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

The gateway to The Chilterns! 'Wendy' is a great spot to explore all of the highlights (mostly climbs) of the Chilterns AONB. Plenty of pubs and cafes for a pit stop.

White Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A punchy back lane. Good surface, lovely scenery and a real corkscrew of a climb when ridden southbound.

Just some classic beautiful riding through the northern ends of the Chiltern Hills near Nettledon. You can pop into nearby Hemel Hempstead for a whole range of great restaurants, pubs and cafs to refuel.
