Gravel road link towards Hethe. Some short sharp ups and downs and a couple of blind bends - watch out for dog walkers!

Good dirt/gravel road between Buckingham and Bicester. If it's been raining a lot it can get boggy, but generally fine on a mountain bike with nice wide tyres.

Passes close to an area known as "Christmas Gorse". Mainly wide grassy bridleway, easy going in summer no doubt muddy in winter.

Surrounding Stowe House, the grand 18th-century home of the powerful Temple-Grenville family, Stowe Landscape Gardens are a Georgian delight. Winding paths take you along lakesides, past architectural treats and to picture-postcard views. Dogs are welcome as long as they are kept on leads and there are even designated water bowls along the trails.
