Looks like its muddy in winter and overgrown in summer. Perfect in mid spring if its been dry like it has been most springs except the last.

This stunning valley is a great example of what makes the Cotswolds so special. Until committing to the travelling the length of bridleway you wouldn't know it exists, with no road running through it. The valley has steep sides lined with broad-leaved trees giving it a remote feeling. In the summer the sun sets at the bottom of the valley, blanketing the land in a warm glow.

The views on this descent are fantastic with the Severn estuary and even welsh hills on a clear day. The descent starts out on fast non-technical open grassland and finishes with some fast singletrack.

This is a lovely walk through serene countryside between Tresham and Alderley. A wide bridleway will lead you through rolling green hills dotted with sheep and trees and epic views down the valley.

watch out for woodland clearances in the south because of Ash Dieback, can look like you're on another planet with the trees that used to be searching for light, now bathed in it. The river crossing itself can be a bit treacherous in winter or after any decent spell of rain. If I didn't have the big metal cleat in my shoes I'm sure I never would've made it up the bank.

AVOID THIS SECTION! It's totally overgrown and unrideable. I had to push my bike nearly all the way through nettles and brambles.

Rocky, technical and steep climb/descent on the eastern end

Head out of town towards Nibley to get to the farm shop - good place for lunch
