At the heart of many beautiful roads and climbs in the North Cotswolds

"The name "Brailes" is thought to originate either from the Old Welsh breg-lis - "hill court" - or the Old English byrgels - "burial place". Castle Hill Motte in the middle of the village is a natural knoll that was made higher in the Norman era to form the motte of a motte-and-bailey castle. Its construction may have been ordered by Roger de Beaumont, who was Earl of Warwick from 1123–53. Earthworks of both the motte and the bailey survive, and the site is a Scheduled Monument. Brailes was the home of William de Brailes, a 13th-century medieval painter of illuminated manuscripts. Of the many artists who painted such manuscripts, William is one of only two whose name has been recorded. It was also the birthplace of Thomas de Brayles (died c.1340), a senior judge and Crown official of the early fourteenth century, whose highest office was Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer. On the other side of Stocks Hill is Brailes House, the former home to the Sheldon family. The Sheldons have held the manor of Brailes since 1547."

This was a damp, drizzly, mizzly evening so the view was a bit limited. However, I imagine that on a sunny, summer evening or a crisp, clear winters morning the views will be spectacular.

nice road side village from which you can start plenty rides into this part of the Cotswolds. Don't miss the store for refueling.

Fabulous walk allowing you to see the stone monuments erected 3,800 years BC. Special attention when you park by the road as there are thief’s that break your car window and take your belongings. This couple that arrive 10 minutes before us had their passports stolen! We opted to park in Salford and do the walk starting there. Safe parking there and plenty of spaces.

The George Inn at Brailes is a traditional 16th century Cotswold pub that serves up a delicious range of traditional and continental food and local Hooky beers. The pub has a number of cosy rooms as well as a large beer garden and pool table.

I’m going to second the gravel comment, if it has rained recently it can get a bit more gravel than road.
