This 46 km ride takes in some of the biggest hills in the area, visiting the high points of Ashmansworth, Faccombe and Linkenholt. Although it starts and finishes in West Berkshire, it takes in parts of Hampshire and Wiltshire, with some fabulous views. A particular highlight of the route is the glorious descent down Ham Hill. If you need a break after climbing the hill to Faccombe, then The Jack Russell Inn (now sadly closed!)provides a welcome rest point. But if you want to wait until later in the route, then there are plenty of options, such as The Swan Inn at Inkpen, The White Hart at Hamstead Marshall(also n (now sadly closed!) or The Craven Arms at Enborne I stopped at the Cow & Cask in Newbury at the end of the ride for a great pint in a lovely micro pub.
