The Frensham Ponds Gravel Edition cycling route broadly mirrors the Frensham Pond Loop route in the Surrey Hills section of the route Book but this time favours off-road tracks, exploring more of the heathland and Frensham Common itself in the south-western corner of Surrey.
Starting point: The Coppernose, Hampton Court, London.
Suggested café: Frensham Great Pond Snack Bar (59 km)
The Guildford Gravel Loop is flat for the first 35 km before climbing up past Chantry Wood to the top of St. Martha’s Hill.
The Hever Loop cycling route is a bit more challenging than the loop via Bough Beech. Instead of going south over Toys Hill and north over Ide Hill, it does the reverse. This allows for the exhilarating Ide Hill descent and, after a Chiddingstone stop and a loop around Hever Castle, climbing the more challenging north side of Toys Hill, and another great descent down Brasted Chart.
The Twyford Drift route is a fast and flat route out to Twyford via Drift Road and back via Windsor.
This cycling route route heads west via Virginia Water before heading north towards Maidenhead, where it turns back, stopping by Dorney Court before a return via Windsor.
The Virginia Water Loop cycling route is a shorter alternative to the Windsor rides with a picturesque loop around Virginia Water, with a café stop overlooking the water.
The Fairoaks Airport Loop cycling route goes south of Chertsey out to the airfield at Fairoaks before looping back round for the same fast return route. There is an optional café stop for small groups at the Hangar Café at the airport.
