If you're looking for a fairly easy Cotswold bike ride that takes you through some of the areas most beautiful village scenes then this isn't a bad option!

This route incorporates 4 villages all of which offer classic Cotswold stone architecture, but the bigger sell for us was cylcing over and alongside the river Windrush that flows through the heart of the villages, making for a unique experience. Each village also has plenty of options for food/snack stops and so we would recommend factoring that into your plans timing-wise as you wouldn't want to miss out on some deliciousness!

This loop is probably best in spring/summer when these villages and country lanes are cover in gorgeous colours, that said we did it on a drizzly, late autumnal afternoon and still loved it.
