バリントンでののおすすめツーリングルート

I did not use an e-bike and enjoyed the periodic challenge mixed with beautifully glide parts.

Riding on the roadway is treacherous the speed limit is 100 km/hr trucks pass within inches no hard or soft shoulder

In the middle of a small green area within the village, a cross rises atop a tall stone shaft. However, as hikers notice upon approach, this is by no means a small sacred monument in the sense of the wayside crosses common in some regions. Rather, this monument, like those found in many villages, is dedicated to the memory of the victims of war and tyranny.

Very photogenic place can be busy

Lovely pub with a large south-facing terrace at the front. Perfect for lunch in the sun.

This is a pretty little ford in Shilton. You can cycle through the ford if the water is safe, or use the nearby bridge if the water levels are too high.

Wonderful place, perfect to relax and unwind.

This route from Burford to Cirencester is lovely.

This mill dates back to 1086 when the Domesday Book was written. It sits on the River Eye just before it reaches Bourton-on-the-Water. The mill has a museum, shop and riverside cafe.

A lovely spot to chill

Stow on the Wold is the highest Cotswold town. It was of historical importance located on the Roman Fosse Way at a point where several roads meet. The battle of Donnington fought nearby was the last battle in the English Civil war in 1646. The local church was used to lock up Royalist soldiers as it was the only lockable building locally.

The Anglican Church of St John the Baptist is a Grade I listed building. A complicated building which has developed in a curious way from the Norman. Built in 11th–15th centuries.

Lynwood offers some of the best coffee in the Cotswolds. The Burford coffee house is a lovely place right on the high street. Get a window seat and it's excellent for people watching. They also have a water tap inside for refilling bidons. High;y recommended if you like your coffee.

The picture shows the entrance to Birdlands, which is well worth a visit

The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead: therefore the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. One such memorial was raised at Bourton-on-the-Water as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. In January 1920, residents of Bourton-on-the-Water decided at a public meeting to create a memorial to the 27 members of the local community who had died. Having visited the memorials at Ampney Crucis and Saintsbury, the War Memorial Committee members chose the design and set about fundraising. The war memorial was unveiled by Major-General Sir HB Walker and dedicated by Reverend Canon WE White at a well-attended ecumenical ceremony on 7 December 1920. Following the Second World War the names of 12 men who died in that conflict were added. Details First World War memorial, 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. Bourton-on-the-Water War Memorial is located on the green beside the River Windrush, at the junction of High Street and Sherborne Street and in close proximity to a number of Grade II-listed structures. The tall stone memorial takes the form of a Latin cross rising from a moulded collar on a tapering octagonal shaft. That stands on an octagonal plinth. The foot of the cross shaft is decorated with carvings in low relief. The plinth stands on a four-stepped base, square on plan. The memorial stands in a square kerbed and gated enclosure, with a surrounding chain suspended on low stone posts. The plinth is clad with metal plaques which bear the names of the fallen from both the First and also the Second World War. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front (north-east) face of the plinth reads 1914 1918/ 1939 1945/ TO THOSE OF THIS VILLAGE/ WHO MADE THE SACRIFICE/ FOR PEACE/ SONS OF THIS PLACE LET/ THIS OF YOU BE SAID,/ THAT YOU WHO LIVE ARE/ WORTHY OF THE DEAD./ THESE GAVE THEIR LIVES THAT/ YOU WHO LIVE MAY REAP/ A RICHER HARVEST ERE/ YOU FALL ASLEEP. A wreath is depicted on the plaque between the start and end dates of each conflict.

A gorgeous rural lane which is just about manageable on a road bike... but might be a different story in the winter! There is quite a lot of grit around and a few potholes to avoid.
