This is a great single track that goes up through Pond Wood, past Longdown Farm, and onwards into Pulpit Wood. It can be muddy in bad weather. It is an established trail though and forms part of the Icknield Way Trail, so beware of hikers and other path users.

The Thames at Cookham Bridge is an attractive spot. It is lined with trees, and there are boats dotted about along the riverside. The bridge works on a traffic light system, but there is a pavement area to stop for photos if you feel the urge to do so.Β There is a good pub at the bridge too called the Ferry Inn.

On a gravel bike, one packed for a multi-day exploration of the Icknield Way, this was one of the more challenging, slow-going segments due to the narrowness and roots.

Winchmore Hill goes back to the 12th century: there used to be a small settlement here supporting farms grouped around a Common and a pond (those were the days). In 1958, the pond was filled in, but luckily the Common is still here, on the edge of what used to be Wycombe Heath: 4,000 acres of open common land providing grazing for animals and material for firewood. It's a lovely hamlet. There is a great information board, from which you can learn more about the history of the place. And a good pub in a village can never be wrong! - so make sure you make a stop at The Plough!

This here is one of the entrances to the beautiful Penn Wood. It's a truly spectacular bit of woodland: dense, green, with lovely paths to run on. Some trees are ancient: one, thought to be the oldest in the wood, is the Holey Oak (there is a hole in the trunk...), and the other is the Penn Pollard, memorable for its very open crown. You're in for a treat here!

This is a lovely and tranquil stroll on the northern edge of the Great Beard's Wood (I am wondering who the Great Beard was!). For a large part of it, you are walking on the edge of the woodland, with open views to the north over the fields. There is a sense of calm here. If you are lucky, you will some a pheasant or two!
