This short ride will make an enjoyable excursion of an hour or two. It retains height through the Wooburn and Littleworth Common area and takes you into the traffic free Burnham Beeches. It then passes the pretty Hedgerley village, then climbs into Gerrards Cross to take you back into Beaconsfield skirting Jordans and Seer Green. There are several good pubs along the way and a café in the Beeches.
