A gradual climb up to Woodcote followed by a fast swoop through the woods down Long Toll. A short climb from Hill Bottom into Whitchurch Hill is rewarded by lovely views across the Thames Valley before a steep final descent from Upper to Lower Gatehampton.
Highlights
Views over the Thames Valley above Brunel's magnificent bridge at Gatehampton
Hazards
Potholes on Long Toll
The sharp right-hand corner at the bottom of the descent from Upper Gatehampton, complete with loose gravel
Hospitality
Shops and pubs in Woodcote

Hints
One of The Gap's best-kept secrets: Even though the road through Upper Gatehampton is classified as bridleway, it has a tarmac surface throughout. There's no through traffic because of a gate at the farm - perfect for cyclists!
