Tresham Bridleway Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This stunning valley is a great example of what makes the Cotswolds so special. Until committing to the travelling the length of bridleway you wouldn't know it exists, with no road running through it.

The valley has steep sides lined with broad-leaved trees giving it a remote feeling. In the summer the sun sets at the bottom of the valley, blanketing the land in a warm glow.

Tresham to Ozleworth Bottom Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Most of it is a wide track, but the final descent lures you into going fast and then gets bumpy...

Kingscote Woods Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great bridleway gravel track linking to Kingscote to Horsley. Suitable for MTB and gravel bikes (ideally 40mm tyres). Multi-use path so as ever be respectful of others.

Bridleway in The Cotswolds National Landscape

Highlight • Cycleway

Multiple bridleways and byways branching off in all directions and seem to very quiet and not well used. Plenty of options from wide gravel tracks to narrow single-track, across field margins or into the woods.

Valley Byway Through The Cotswolds

Highlight • Forest

I'd avoid this segment until the spring now, the woods section is very poached and pretty unrideable.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very muddy narrow track, super fun but not much option other than to follow it down. Wouldn't recommend riding up it
