This small 'chocolate box' village is not quite as understated as it seems. Due to its closeness in proximity to Elstree Studio, it has been featured in quite the array of televisions and films.

Whilst it's probably best known internationally for its appearances in The Dirty Dozen and Bridget Jone's Diary, it's also featured in British gems such as Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse and The Avengers.

Scenic Country Road in the Chilterns

Highlight • Cycleway

quiet lanes in every direction. Not flat, but not proper climbs either, especially compared to other roads in the area.

Rucklers Lane Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Ridden east to west, the housing gives way to a verdant tunnel of trees. Once under the A41 the gradient kicks up, the road narrows and becomes more gravelly, up past the scout camp. A left turn and swoopy descent follows, before the road climbs once more to join Bulstrode Lane.

Bunkers Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A nice steady downhill coming from east to west, wide enough for cars to get past and a good surface. Halfway down there is a great view on the left hand side of the fields in the valley below.
