At the bottom of Kop Hill

Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: 27 Feb 2022

Typical Chiltern fields and woods scenery near Princes Risborough. Kop Hill itself is a steep stretch of road which in 1910 became the venue for hill climbing events for cars and bikes. Regular events were stopped in 1925 for safety reasons, but recently there has been a revival. https://www.kophillclimb.org.uk/about-kop-hill/history/
