Suggested café: Frensham Great Pond Snack Bar (59 km)
The Barhatch Blinder is a a four-hill cycling route in the Surrey Hills: Staple Lane, Row Lane, Barhatch Lane and Whitedown Lane.
The Kentish Kraken winds its way across two ridges of the Downs (crossing the southern ridge four times!). Climbs include Crockham Hill, Brasted Chart (the steadier but longer north side of Toys Hill), and Ide Hill.
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.
The Rochester Rouleur cycling route is a scenic rolling out-and-back route to Rochester. After traversing the northern ridge of the Downs it heads east along the eastern end of the old Pilgrims’ Way to the coast.
The Chartwell Loop cycling route heads over the north ridge of the Downs and, once through Westerham and up Hosey Hill, the route follows a forested loop around Chartwell and Toys Hill. Brasted Hill adds some further spice on the return leg back to London.
