Icknield Way near Princes Risborough
This part of the Icknield Way, one of the oldest roads in Britain (pre-dating the Romans) is used by people, horses and four wheel drives. It is a bit messy just behind the photographer. The sign gives advice on how to use the road as it is legally a byway open to all traffic.

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/
