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 Biggin Hill Loop cycling route is a relatively quick blast out of South London, around the top of the first ridge of the Downs by Biggin Hill.
A good route that heads along the south bank of the Thames for a while before heading south to the Surrey Hills.
The London to Whitstable one-way cycling route heads south over Crystal Palace, out of London, before the climb up the side of Biggin Hill.
This gravel route takes us a largely off-road route from Hampton Court Palace heading south-east out of Surrey and into Kent where it descends off the north ridge of the Downs and winds its way offroad to Churchill’s family home of Chartwell. It then heads through woods of Toys Hill before the return leg back to Surrey.
