Cycling Routes

The Cotswolds’ quiet lanes make for rewarding rides, though the hills are real. Distances depend on where you start and how far you want to go, so plan your route with a cycling map or app.

Country lanes

Minor roads link many of the villages, often between dry-stone walls and open fields.

Hills & valleys

Expect climbs out of the river valleys. An e-bike or a flexible plan helps if you are not used to hills.
