"Bibury is a village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. It is on the River Coln, a Thames tributary that rises in the same (Cotswold) District. The village centre is 6+1⁄2 miles (10.5 kilometres) northeast of Cirencester. Arlington Row is a nationally notable architectural conservation area depicted on the inside cover of some British passports. It is a major destination for tourists visiting the traditional rural villages, tea houses and many historic buildings of the Cotswold District; it is one of six places in the country featured in Mini-Europe, Brussels. In the Domesday Book (1086), a record of survey done under William the Conqueror, the place is named Becheberie, and it is recorded that the lands and church in Bibury were held by St. Mary's Priory at Worcester, from whom it passed in 1130 to the Abbey of Osney, near Oxford: the Abbey continued to hold it until its dissolution in 1540."

Bibury is often titled the most beautiful village in the whole of the UK, and for good reason, Its idyllic beauty and quintessential British charm make it really stand out from the crowd. Perhaps the most iconic feature of this delightful little village is Arlington Row, a row of 17th century cottages which overlook the tranquil River Coln.

Lovely gravel track connecting Welsh Way to Daglingworth via Quarry

Ancient Roman Road, The Fosse Way is an excellent single track path with road sections, I rode this route on the day of Storm Eunice in Feb 2022, it was gnarly but afforded a lot of shelter from the crazy winds we we're heading directly into, the trees however were a constant worry, but it seemed most of the falls had already happened earlier in the morning or perhaps the previous night. This rout is amazing and apart from a short stint on the road you can cycle from the Cirencester YHA to the Bath YHA along the Fosse. Beautiful track, good scenery, and an interesting history. The Salutation Inn is the only stopping place for food and drink, so I'd suggest a stop there if you need it, nice pub by all accounts.

Good going in the dry, not bad in the wet, experienced this track the day before storm Eunice hit in March 2022, wet and winder but surface we fantastic. Part of an old disused railway that is slowly being brought back into use, some sections of the cycle path were closed due to works being carried out on restoring the old line so be aware if you plan to use this route. https://swindon-cricklade-railway.org

A Neo-Norman church completed in 1844. The building has been said to have the appearance of an alpine church typical of northern Italy.

Route on a section of old railway line - lovely, leafy and level! This was originally part of the Midland and South Western Junction Railway, eventually absorbed into the Great Western, running between Swindon and Cirencester and on to Cheltenham.

Frampton Mansell is a pretty village in the Cotswold's AONB. It is beautifully located to the south of the Cotswold escarpment on the banks of the River Fromel. It’s a marvellous base for exploring the surrounding countryside, with plenty of woodland and riverside trails and footpaths into the rolling hills to the north. Prominent in the village is the Grade II-listed St Luke's Church, which boasts a set of five original stained glass windows. You can seek accommodation at Well Farm Bed and Breakfast and at the Crown Inn. The latter serves superb pub grub.

Fantastic track to enjoy during sunset. Great view of the lakes!

I joined at South Cerney and headed south. This was on a road bike (with 28mm GP4S) in March and it was fine, though there are a few rough spots and a fun slalom course around some big puddles at one point.

Why not cycle the 28 miles from Kemble to Bath. I have done it several times with my son (the first time in August 2014, when he was 9 years old). You have to pick the track up to the south of Cotswold "International" but then it is bridleway and minor roads all the way to Bath. The Salutation is the only pub on the route (until Batheaston). There is now a cycleway between Batheaston and the Kennet & Avon canal for easy access to Bath city centre. Check it out on my Komoot profile (Dob) 15/6/2019.

A great gravel track. I managed it on my road bike with 28mm Conti GP4S. If you pick your lines it's fine, though care needs to be taken around the two stream crossings. The southern most one has a lumpy descent and ascent either side of the bridge. At the northerly one the bridge itself is lumpy... you could always take the ford... it's only a foot (and a bit) deep! :D

A beautiful and unusually styled church for the area. Almost Italian in architectural design. The upper Stroud valley provides an equally beautiful backdrop.

Passes Daglingworth Quarry. Hanson Aggregates works Daglingworth Quarry, extracting limestone aggregate for road building, ornamental driveway stone and dust for brick making. Extraction of stone from the site is believed to have started in 1905, since when it has been in almost continuous use. The planning permission for the quarry expires in 2042 and progressive restoration is currently being undertaken. A wide variety of fossils are known from the Daglingworth Quarry. Oysters, pectinids (scallops) and echinoids (sea urchins) can be found within the Taynton Limestone and Hampen Formations. Discovered within the sandy lenses of Hampen Formation are rare plant fragments, and dinosaur footprints have been found near the top of the formation. These are now on display at the quarry office. The Shipton Member is generally devoid of fossils except, for a few beds containing borings and burrows made by marine animals such as molluscs and worms. At the top of this member is the Excavata bed where gastropods and the echinoids, Clypeus and Cidaris are found in abundance. Trace fossils, borings and bivalves are found in many beds throughout the Ardley Member. Fossils from large reptiles have been found from near the top of the member

Good way to cross the A417. Could be muddy in depths of winter I suspect.

Gravel route. Popular with other riders/walkers etc.

Dramatic ford crossing, with small stone bridge for those not wanting to risk it! 💦

The Crown pub a few metres down the road does great food and real ales from Stroud Brewery

This honeypot has been attracting tourist to the Cotswolds for decades. Made famous by the Arts and Crafts movement, it's understandably popular. Plenty of places nearby for refreshments!
