ダウデスウェルウッドのおすすめランニングルート

Extremely muddy in the winter so be sure to wear the correct footwear if you choose to do this route at that time of year.

Take a seat and enjoy soaring, uninterrupted views over Cheltenham and the County of Gloucestershire.

A lovely stretch of singletrack that runs through Upcote plantation with fantastic views looking across the fields towards Withington. Try not to get too distracted by the views whilst cycling as the track gets bumpy and narrow in places.

Pretty brutal. Nice way to get out of Cheltneham that avoids the A40

Dowdeswell Reservoir is a scenic stretch of water on the outskirts of Cheltenham. From the reservoir, you step straight into Dowdeswell Woods; a nature reserve that’s home to many species of plants and animals. Keep a lookout for birds including coot, moorhen, great crested grebe and little grebe.

Easy, fun section with nice views to the right

Looking away from the pylons, a fantastic view over Charlton Kings, Cheltenham and beyond to the Malvern Hills. A good place for a stop if you fancy a break.

Challenging climb up to 20% but well worth the effort
