Cherington Valley Lane and Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Nearly every lane I've tried around these parts has been superb, this is no exception. Either a long and fun shallow descent followed by a short sharp climb into Cherington or vice versa. A gorgeous little valley with a lake at the Cherington end.

Frampton Mansell to Sapperton Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A beautiful rolling and wooded lane. A great alternative route to avoid the busier roads heading to or from Cirencester.

Oaksey Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Oaksey is a pretty Cotswold village in Wiltshire, very close to the Gloucestershire boarder.
It is thought that there has been a settlement here since 4500 BCE but the earliest evidence are the Bronze age Round Barrows.
The 15th centaury church is the oldest surviving building now.

Malmesbury Market Cross and Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

A lovely town located on the Wiltshire cycleway. Features a lovely abbey as well as lots of independent shops and cafes. Would particularly recommend the Summer Café or The Birdcage. If passing through early in the day there is a huge choice of fantastic bakery's selling all the classics.
Birdcage open every day 12:00 - 21:30.
Summer café open Mon to Sat 7:30 - 17:00 and Sun 9:00 - 16:00.
