I always say this climb feels like being in Scotland, with the pine trees and bracken. The steepest part is steep enough for you to know you're climbing. Careful if turning in from Henley direction because there's a lot of gravel on the corner. The surface is reasonable until the top part when it gets rather broken and gravelly. At the top you can turn right and continue gradually climbing all the way to Turville Heath and on to Christmas Common. You might consider this as the connoissuer's route, as opposed to the Stonor or Hambleden roads. This route would be done in full if you went up Icehouse Lane instead, which is also nice, but Benham's Lane is definitely a better climb.

A beautiful climb, steep, but not hard, few cars and good surface. Everything needed for a lovely climb.
