This picturesque moated medieval castle was built in the 1370s by Sir John de la Mare. It's heavily influenced by French design and features a compact layout with four round corner towers and thick defensice walls.

I would second the first comment. Change of ownership makes this cafe a fantastic mid-ride stop option. Friendly owners and good food / drink at reasonable prices.

Wellow Ford. Goes without saying this can flood and become impassable for bikes.

Discover this pretty little ford in the picturesque village of Wellow located in the southern tip of the Cotswolds. After a spell of heavy rain, the water may be too high to cross, so you'll have to take the neighbouring bridge to complete your loop.

Absolutely lovely, relatively flat throughout and is generally pretty quiet. Some areas have a few bumps thanks to roots and some parts during the wetter winter weather get a couple of centimetres of running water here and there. Overall one of my favourite places to cycle and will continue to feature on my routes!
