Route Details
Stone,Waddesdon3
Cuddington is a pretty village, several times winner of the Best Kept Village Award; look out for the collection of weathervanes on a roof on your left as you leave the village and plunge downhill to the River Thame.
The only way is up from the River Thame, first to Chearsley another ancient village with The Bell pub and the Village Stores by the green and its church tucked away at the bottom of the village off the route. The climb continues onto the ridge where you turn left for Ashendon, downhill at first and then climbing to the highest point on the route. You turn left at the top of the hill before reaching the centre of Ashendon, where the church is.
After a long plunge downhill you turn sharp left by the old Wotton Station house then skirt the wooded estate of Wotton Underwood before crossing the A41 at Kingswood.
The flatter middle section of the route takes you close to Quainton railway Centre on the way to Waddesdon, where you take the estate roads of Waddesdon Manor to Upper Winchendon. Sadly the drive through Eythrope Park is now closed to cyclists, but the ridge road through Upper Winchendon has great views. Look out for the scrap metal sculptures at a farm entrance on the left of the road and the Observatory on the same side.
Take care on the fast descent of Cannon’s Hill as you must stop at the bottom, before climbing back up to Cuddington with perhaps more time to see the weathervanes on the right this time.
Turn right opposite The Crown pub in Cuddington into Dadbrook and cross the A418 to Haddenham where you can follow the route for a scenic tour of this interesting village or take the direct way back to Stone.
This is a hilly ride of about 33 miles (53km) with 1667 feet (508m) of ascent. We hope you enjoy it!

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
