Interested to know what Anorak’s delight is like, was looking at that myself as it’s pretty close to me.
Grand National park 2 park was pretty good when I last rode it, and sounds like the route might pass close to you https://audax.uk/event-details?eventId=7184

Last weekend I rode 'Into the Lions' Den' which is a 200km loop around Wiltshire and Hampshire. It starts in Winchester, but I joined in Amesbury which is close to where I live/work. It is a really great route, all tarmac and mainly quiet ways, small scenic thatched cottages throughout, llamas and cows etc. It has an awesome descent into Longleat and some sections through the forest in Cranborne Chase.
I don't have any photos because my phone is already full of Wiltshire lanes, but it is one of the best designed Audaxes that I have done this year compared to Watership Down (100km) and A Catholic Education (when I was in London).
Next up on my list will probably be An Anorak's Delight or Taste of the Test. Overall I really like riding around here, it is much quieter and there isn't the faff of getting out of London. Coffee stops are almost all closed, but other than that, I would recommend coming down to ride.
The photo is from a random 150km Salisbury loop that I found in rwgps a few weeks ago.
