This is a very simple quick loop from Marlow which can be completed easily within an hour. Ideal for a swift ride when time is short before or after work, passing three picture perfect Chiltern villages. It is a long but relatively easy 4 mile climb up to Frieth crossroads where you then enjoy a speedy continual descent for 3 miles, passing the villages of Fingest and Skirmitt. The route brings you into Hambleden from where you climb sharply up to the hamlets of Rotten Row and Bockmer End on lovely quiet roads. Some great views throughout.
