Tour Cotswolds

This area stands out as a particulary scenic and good cycling area. We had a 4-day tour of the area based just north of Winchcombe. So it was day trips over some very well sign-posted cycle routes, there are plenty on the 'tinternet'. I have no particular route for you.

What I can recommend is to take your bike on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway, get off at a smaller station, and have a ride back to base. We also have a good afternoon at Prescott Speed Hill Climb. This is the home of the Bugatti Owners Club. We just happened to be passing and stopped to watch the start, this was very close to the road. The marshals invited us in after I askedthem if I could go next!.

The main tourest town/villages are a pain but remember you don't have parking problems. Also some of the more remote villages are quieter and very beautiful.

I have included a route of 26 miles that goes through 'The Slaughters', this was particularly pretty, but very hilly!
