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.

Suggested café: The Dabbling Duck, Shere (54km)
