Ready to go
You have only just left the hotel and the beautiful views are already passing by.
After 10 minutes you will cross the River Churn, a tributary of the Thames, for the first time. The views alternate between tree-lined avenues and beautiful hilly roads. From time to time you can still see a glimpse of the Churn flowing with you parallel to the road on the left.
Those who love beautiful gardens can turn right just after waypoint 4 to Cerney House and Cerney Gardens. It is a seventeenth century house surrounded by 40 hectares of gardens and parks. The character of the garden is 'traditional', not according to a certain style, but from many sources. There is a herb garden, vegetable garden, button garden, Victorian greenhouse, wooden gazebo, woodland, orchard and wild flower meadow. However, be careful if you decide to go here. It can be slippery on this road due to the green in the middle berm and the loose gravel. So caution is advised.
If you turn off you will also see a nice church directly on your left.
The route continues towards Cirensester and a beautiful English town that you will pass through is Lechlade. The houses are built in the old English architectural style. Beautiful houses, with the typical English walls on the side of the road. immediately after Lechlade you come across the Thames. This is the largest and one of the most important rivers in England.
About 400 meters after you have passed the Thames there is a parking lot on the right where you could stop to take a few pictures or enjoy the view.
After an hour and a half it is time to drink a cup of coffee. A great opportunity is the roadside restaurant Chopper Café, a kind of roadhouse for bikers. You could also choose to drive a little further and drink a cup of coffee at Mayfly. There is also plenty of parking here and you can enjoy the view over the River Test. Known worldwide for its excellent quality trout.
After coffee you soon see the hilly landscapes again and it is enjoyment again ... What a view!
The route continues towards Winchester. And after driving through this city you will pass a science center, the “Winchester Science Center” after a few kilometers. This is a hands-on interactive science and technology center in Morn Hill. Winchester Science Center offers two floors of hands-on science exhibits and the UK's largest stand-alone planetarium, with a daily program of full dome films and shows led by a presenter. A new immersive zone, Explorer: Space, was opened on the lower exhibition floor in 2018. This includes 20 modular exhibits, covering everything from meteorites to star dust, robots to coding and atmospheric pressure to human spaceflight. The Science Center also has its own café. During weekends and school holidays, the Invention Studio is open to the public and live science shows are held throughout the day. A great opportunity for enthusiasts to gain some knowledge.
It is also recommended that you stop at Cheesefoot Head, a large natural amphitheater with a beautiful vantage point just outside Winchester. You can enjoy the beautiful view here.
Then you drive towards Chichester. On the outskirts of this city you will pass a nice opportunity to have lunch, restaurant Harvester. You can park the motorcycle well here and the food is good. In any case, the citizens are recommended.
After lunch you will arrive at Goodwood Arrow Drome, a small airport that is still under the smoke of Chichester, after about a kilometer. Next to this airport is also the Goodwood circuit, a historic racing circuit for both two and four-wheelers. This race track dates from 1948. In 1966 the last race was raced on the track, because it no longer met the requirements of the time. The owners did not want to adapt the track to the more stringent requirements imposed by higher speeds of newer racing cars. On June 2, 1970, an accident during a test drive on this circuit claimed the life of Bruce McLaren, the founder of Team McLaren. On special days there is often a lot to see here, such as old motorbikes and cars.
If you're looking for breathtaking panoramic views of Chichester and the West Sussex countryside, a trip to The Trundle near Goodwood is a must.
Known locally as The Trundle, St Roche's Hill is one of the four Iron Age hill fortresses.
In more recent times, The Trundle was used for wartime communication. During WW2, soldiers manned a radio cabin from the top of the hill so they could talk to pilots during the Battle of Britain.
Today, The Trundle, which stands at approximately 200 meters in height, offers a wonderful vantage point from which to view the West Sussex countryside. For the avid walker, there are several walks from The Trundle, including a climb over The Trundle and a descent to the quaint village of West Dean.
About 20 kilometers away, just as you cross Rother you will find a kind of pumping station at this river, "Coultershaw Beam Pump". Between 1792 and 1888 there were also yards and a lock at Coultershaw. Until the 1970s, there was a watermill on the river with a beam engine to pump water from the river to Petworth and his home. After the demolition of the mill, the Coultershaw Beam Pump was restored to good condition and is now a monument.
Here you could make another quick stop to take a few photos.
If you drive towards Petworth then pass this place just past the Petworth House, a late 17th century listed manor house. It contains intricate wood carvings from Grinling Gibbons. It's Petworth's mansion. This is known for its extensive art collection created by George Wyndham. It also has a vast deer park, created by Capability Brown, with the largest herd of fallow deer in England.
Just before the town of Billingshurst you come across Arum, the longest river completely located within the borders of the county of Sussex. The river flows through the hills and South Downs National Park.
The roads are beautiful here and there is a lot of variety in the views.
When you arrive in Balcombe, the route bends to the left. Then pay attention again, the roads here are narrow and can be slippery. The beautiful views make up for this.
Nature is very beautiful on this part of the route and it is nice to drive. When you see the water sparkling between the trees on both sides of the road you come across the Ardingly Reservoir. The southern end is a 74.5 hectare local nature reserve.
When you are almost at the end of the route you will cross the last river today, this is the Medway.
It is wise to refill the tank to be able to leave on time the next day. There is a BP gas station at route point 34, a short distance from the hotel.
Afterwards you will drive to the Crowne Plaza Hotel to check in for the overnight stay.
Along the route you have several options to stop for a cup of coffee, some food or take a photo. I have listed the places where we stopped above or mentioned them in detail.
I gave the Route 4 stars, the roads are generally good.
It is a beautiful route with a lot of variety in the roads. The views are also very beautiful and different in many places.
The route includes a number of sights, including the historic Goodwood motorcycle circuit. In any case, it is recommended to stop here.

About this region
The points of the compass are an evenly spaced set of horizontal directions (or azimuths) used in navigation and geography. A compass rose is primarily composed of four cardinal directions—north, east, south, and west—each separated by 90 degrees, and secondarily divided by four ordinal (intercardinal) directions—northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest—each located halfway between two cardinal directions. Some disciplines such as meteorology and navigation further divide the compass with additional azimuths. Within European tradition, a fully defined compass has 32 'points' (and any finer subdivisions are described in fractions of points).Compass points are valuable in that they allow a user to refer to a specific azimuth in a colloquial fashion, without having to compute or remember degrees.
