Circular route from Olney to Salcey Forest. Mostly Bridleways - with some uphill and short road sections.
Look for parking in Olney Town Centre (free for 3 hours). As an alternative, you can park at Salcey Forest and start your journey from there - the Horsebox car park (free parking) is en-route, and the cafe car park (paid parking) is slightly off-route.
Depending on where you start, both Olney and Salcey Forest are ideal for a mid-way refreshment stop.
