Great tucked away cafe with outdoor bike rack and seating. Perfect for a delicious coffee break or little treat, thoroughly recommend!

A little exit to the right will lead you onto the main road and toward Aynho Wharf and the Great Western Arms, which is a perfect spot for a half-way mark rest. The pub serves a great array of food and drinks and features a lovely outdoor seating area.

At one time Banbury had many crosses (the High Cross, the Bread Cross and the White Cross), but these were destroyed by Puritans in 1600.[7][50] Banbury remained without a cross for more than 250 years until the current Banbury Cross was erected in 1859 at the centre of the town to commemorate the marriage of Victoria, Princess Royal (eldest child of Queen Victoria) to Prince Frederick of Prussia. The current Banbury Cross is a stone, spire-shaped monument decorated in Gothic form. Statues of Queen Victoria, Edward VII and George V were added in 1914 to commemorate the coronation of George V. The cross is 52 feet 6 inches (16 m) high, and topped by a gilt cross. Towns with crosses in England before the reformation were places of Christian pilgrimage. The English nursery rhyme "Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross", in its several forms, may refer to one of the crosses destroyed by Puritans in 1600.[50] In April 2005, Princess Anne unveiled a large bronze statue depicting the Fine Lady upon a White Horse of the nursery rhyme.[51] It stands on the corner of West Bar and South Bar, just yards from the present Banbury Cross.

Nice climb/decent on a good road. Never too steep.

Epwell is a lovely little Cotswolds village (see separate highlight) and the church fits right in. Worth a short stop and look around.

Small and very pretty village, with many pretty typical Cotswolds houses. Worth a short stop and look.

Not sure where the name comes from, but whoever those traitors were, they picked a lovely spot. Very picturesque. Easy to ride through (unless at high water, watch the water stand meter).

Nice uphill/downhill depending on which way you're going
