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 Surrey Trails & Hills gravel route heads down to the Box Hill area for a loop before continuing on to Ranmore Common, White Downs and Effingham Forest.
The Dragonfly Loop cycling route heads west to Dinton Pastures Nature Reserve. On the return leg, the route ends up on the same fast return as the Windsor Classic Loop.
This loop takes an alternative route out of London via Beulah Hill, heads down to Chiddingstone via Hosey Hill before looping round for the long picturesque climb up Bayley’s Hill.
The Shere Loop cycling route into the Surrey Hills ups the elevation a bit. Rather than using Staple Lane to climb to Shere, this route takes Shere Road and Combe Lane up to the woodlands where there is then a loop with a series of climbs and descents including St. Martha’s Hill, Alderbook Road and Sandy Lane.
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.
