アストホール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.

Can get busy with traffic but lots of side roads and walking pathetic to explore

Nice village below famous and famously busy Diddly Squat.

It's beautiful in a overrun-with-tourists kinda way, but the Deli here is excellent for coffee, food and expensive Italian ingredients that you don't need on a bike ride, but want.

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

Eastleach Turville is another charming Cotswolds village and is renowned for its bucolic beauty. It features typical quaint stone cottages and peaceful lanes, with a gentle river running straight through.

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.

As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials - usually called "war memorials" in English - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." says the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people commemorated here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term "dead soldiers' memorial" is now sometimes used in German instead of the previously most common "war memorial". However, such a war memorial, which one encounters so often on the road, regardless of nationality, language and name, is always a testimony - still significant and current today - to the horror of war and tyranny. They all have two essential functions, and this for each generation anew: -1- Commemorate and remember the victims -2- Remind people to keep the peace
