Circular routes south of London

tomuknz

We are planning a short day of cycling (4-5 hours all up would be good) on the May bank holiday weekend. We are coming from Wimbledon and heading to Bournemouth in the evening so trying to find a nice circular cycle route to do on the way. Somewhere scenic and off main roads would be great (or off-road!).

We don't mind heading east a bit if part of the South Downs is suitable!

Does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks!
