This London to Brighton one-way cycling route starts from Clapham Old Town and then follows the official London-Brighton route, ploughing straight through South London, on through the heart of Sussex before the steep climb up Ditching Beacon and very fast descent down to the coast.
The Milk Churn Loop cycling route explores the area between Godalming and the West Sussex border. Heading south out of Cobham the route heads up to Shere and the wooded areas beyond, before dropping down through Ewhurst and to Rudgwick near the border. The loop then swings round to the west skirting Godalming and Guildford before returning north.
This gravel route broadly mirrors the Frensham Pond Loop route in the Surrey Hills section but this time favours off-road tracks, exploring more of the heathland and Frensham Common itself in the south-western corner of Surrey.
This relatively short cycling route is an introduction to the Surrey Hills and Box Hill in particular. The route climbs up to Ranmore Common, down the other side before the zig zag climb up to Box Hill. The route returns back to the start via Epsom.
The Henley Loop cycling route is another longer but fast flowing variant that heads, south of Windsor Great Park to Wargrave and then rejoining the Thames at Henley.
