Rolling roads of West Sussex and Hampshire
Rolling roads through villages and then out into the countryside with a nice stop at the Forge cafe before heading south, up and along Portsdown hill giving views out across Portsmouth over to the IoW and inland to Butser hill and Southdowns.

Southdowns and trail links
On and off-road loops taking a great section of downs with big views. Sections with rough descents for a gravel bike so steady riding required depending on ability and conditions.
Nice stop at Cadence cafe before tackling the climb back up agin producing more views inland and out to sea.

Cheriton - Winchester gravel loop
Route takes on wide tracks, old lanes and single track. Road sections especially on the approach to Winchester, climbing out of the city back onto the downs offers great views on clear days, ideal spot for a drink and reward at the top of Cheesefoot head!

Froxfield
Pub with no name, starting here, a walk across fields, crossing over quiet lanes. These quiet paths can get overgrown so be prepared for stinging nettles and brambles. However the quiet tracks allow for great wildlife spotting, hares, deer and birds of prey.
Gently winding down hill, along hanger edges…

Bosham into the Southdowns flatish route
Nice flowing roads into the downs. Some busy sections to be aware of but all manageable for a nice road bike loop.
