Cotswold Discovery & Creme Tour 7 days (6 nights)
Cycle on a tour of gardens at their best, villages of honeystone thatched cottages, churches, pubs and tearooms. Country lanes, little traffic and rippling streams, the romantic Cotswolds are perfect for self led tours - it really is, every couple of miles a new village to discover.
Stay in Chiping Campden the 'Jewel' of the Cotswolds with its heritage High Street and a variety of shops, art galleries, gold and silversmiths. At night sample cosy pubs or intimate restaurants. From Chipping Campden travel southwards towards Upper and Lower Slaughter.
Your next stay is in Winchcombe, the ancient walled city of Mercia until the 11th century when it became part of Gloucestershire, now a small town with shops, pubs, tearooms, restaurants and a castle.
You then have a wonderful varied bicycle ride to Northleach (for Discovery tour) or Bibury (for Creme tour) passing by Belas Knap an Iron Age Burial Mound and Chedworth Roman Villa with its beautiful mosaic floor. Northleach was one of the Middle Ages most important wool towns with its magnificent 'wool church'. Spend the next day on a circular route through the enchanging village of Bibury situated on the little river Coln. Continue on to the unspoilt coaching town of Burford and cycle along the Windrush Valley.
