Description:
Wendover is a pretty market town sitting at the bottom of the Chiltern escarpment. With its close access to London it is part of the commuter belt and its rural situation is complimented by lots of café's, boutiques, pubs and restaurants. The town is popular with ladies that lunch, mountain bikers and hikers walking the Ridgeway path. There is a pay and display car park signposted in the middle of the town.

As well as being in the centre of some superb natural woodland trails for recreational and cross country riders it is adjacent to the Aston Hill woods, a pay to ride venue with a series of built and graded downhill runs.

The town is surrounded by the ancient beech woodland that is such a characteristic of the Chilterns area. The traditional industry was 'bodging' copiced beech for the furniture industry. The local trails work their way through these woods making use of the 800ft escarpment which was formed during the ice age by moraines left by the retreating glaciers. Consequently the ground is a mixture of mud, chalk and flint and any ride will see a mixture of this terrain.

If you approach Wendover from the North, you will see the large memorial to casualties of the Boer war on top of Coombe Hill. From here there are superb views Northward across the plain to Oxford. In 2011 Wendover became the centre of protest against the planned high speed rail link, HS2 which emerges from its London tunnel at this point. If it goes ahead, HS2 will certainly be a noticeable feature in this area but shouldn't detract from the outstanding natural beauty.
