Now if you're around there, an area I know well, you MUST "do" the B6047.
In particular there are several spectacular fairground-ride G-force "dips" that WILL bottom your suspension at "reasonable" (i.e. unreasonable but amazingly still legal) speeds and have your teeth heading for your rectum!

One I particularly like, not least because it was only a mile from my late parents house (and now their grave), is between Twyford and Thorpe Satchville where there's a big dip with a nice bend that used to go under a railway (long gone, but explains the geometry).
I still haven't decided which way is best or exactly how fast I dare go......

This is going North (if I've got it right) as you crest the hill out of Twyford and floor the throttle (it's steeper in reality than it looks online):
