ドーディントンでののおすすめライド

Doors are open in the day time.

Cute little church! I'm FAR from religious, but the old buildings are beautiful, it's worth a peek

RESTRAP Task: Sufi whirling is a Turkish form of physically active meditation. Off your bikes, with lots of space around you, spin round on the spot 10 times before continuing the ride!

I prefer this as a descent even though it's dark through the woods. I nearly crashed into a rider in the middle of the road even with markings, so please don't think this is an empty road for climbing, it's busier than most of the other climbs around here. The surface is better than Sands Hill, Dodington and Cock lane which tend to be my preferred climbs into the Wolds.

Tourist information and public toilets in old market town building with view of Chipping Sodbury high street.

Of the five or six climbs that take you over the top of the cotswolds from this side, I think this is the easiest. A combination of convenience from Bristol, quietness and the lack of gradients over 10% make it the most accessible for sure. The B road this joins onto is far busier but is probably an easier climb overall.

Possibly the best oat flat white I've ever had and friendly people! Lovely place!

Gradient gradually increases through Hinton. The steeper section starts as you pass the Bull Inn (to your left as you climb), it's about 400m of narrow Lane, 10-12% gradient. Not too onerous but sufficient to get your attention. Sweeping views at the top towards the Welsh Hills (on a clear day).
