Stone Bridge Over the River Avon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Careful on the downhill approach to this. There has been heavy erosion. There is a path over the bridge. Hopefully, someone will have done some "conservation" (or repair) work on it since last year.

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.

Descent into the Kingscote Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful tarmacked descent into the Kingscote Valley before turning into a gravel track into the woods. Looks like a private road but is a bridleway.
