#explorelocal Tour Of The Cotswolds

This is my take on the perfect four day trip to The Cotswolds. There are many options for food and drink along the routes, or in the start town of Tetbury. I feel these rides offer something for everyone. Tough sections that are hilly, or shorter gentler rides just to get out and enjoy the relatively traffic free roads.If I was to chose just one ride from the four, it would easily be 'My Cotswolds Favourite'. The Post Office village shop in Coln St Aldwyns would be my first stop and I would consider deviating from the route to visit Chedworth Farm shop, too. Stunning valley views and empty lanes make this my go to ride in The Cotswolds.In this collection you will find both my planned tours and my completed tours, including pictures and highlights. I completed these rides on my standard road bike, but you could happily use any bike on all of these routes. There are very few sections of the rides that aren't on a good surface, generally poor surfaces are for a few hundred meters at a time. Phone signal is fairly poor for most of these rides, which adds to the appeal for me, personally. Being self sufficient is definitely a must, as there are for example very few places to purchase spare tubes or tyres. There are however plenty of quiet valley views and endless miles of little lanes to enjoy!
