Cycling in the Cotswolds Summary

Cycling in the Cotswolds: 21 half and full-day cycle routes, and a 4-day 200km Tour of the Cotswolds by Chiz Dakin

Packed with routes right across the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this guidebook is all you need to explore the lanes and tracks of this much-loved area on two wheels - off-road on your mountain bike or on-road on your road bike or a bit of both on hybrid/sturdy bike (most routes have an on-road alternative). 21 day routes ranging from 9 to 41 miles are included, illustrated with clear custom-drawn maps and profiles, as well as a 4-day 200km tour which takes in all the Cotswolds' best highlights. Routes are arranged by difficulty, ranging from easy, moderate to challenging, and full information is provided for the novice cyclist on first aid, bike maintenance, gear to take or hire and much more. There are also comprehensive lists of local gear and cycle shops passed along the routes, and information about where to stop for vital refreshment, too. With a good network of quiet lanes and canal paths and dramatic views from the top of the famous limestone escarpment, the Edge, the pretty Cotswold villages are the perfect base for a cycling holiday.

About Chiz Dakin

Chiz Dakin's cycle touring adventures began when she realised, after a local photography trip, that she'd cycled 50 miles in a day with a reasonably heavy load. Two weeks later she set out on the LEJOG route! Since then she's done several multi-day routes but maintains that you don't need to be seriously fit or fast to fully enjoy cycling.
