This is just the most delightful stretch of gravel! Goes through the forest and is bone dry even when the rest of England is under water (April 2024).

A long climb but not to hard but it does kick up as you reach the top.

Keep to the bridleways. There are only 2 cycle routes through the woods but cyclists go off route a lot and make a bad name for the rest of us that follow the Highway Code/labelled bike paths. Remember heels before wheels and don’t explore off bridleways as the cycle paths here are great if you keep to them.

Chawton Woods is a beautiful woodland area, near to the village of Chawton, the former home of Jane Austen. The woods are situated within close proximity to Jane Austen's House Museum. Part of National Cycle Network route 224, a fantastic well-surfaced gravel track runs through the woods linking the Hampshire villages of Chawton and Four Marks.

Until 2011, the A3 bottlenecked at Hindhead, going from two lanes to one. There was always traffic, air pollution was high there was a significant number of accidents. The Hindhead Tunnel was dug to allow the road to continue as a dual carriageway. You can now cycle up the old A3 to the Devil's Punchbowl. The second half is traffic free and the views at the top are beautiful at any time of the year, but especially in the autumn. Look around at the power of nature to reclaim the land.

12th century St Leonard's Church once stood in the hamlet of Hartley Mauditt, which was abandoned at some time before the 18th century. The remaining clues include the church itself, the foundations of a manor house, and Hartley Pond, which lies opposite the church on the other side of the road.
