Quite a few quiet roads and sunken lanes (best used in dry weather). Lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Signposting (blue square on a yellow background) is a bit dated, and there are a few signs still indicating the route. I have also included various possible alternatives in the description to avoid unmaintained sunken lanes.
