Great test on the bike but can be busy with traffic. A good road surface means it’s also fun to descend!

Mostly Flat Path Comprising of Combination Of Gravel, Tarmac,

Love this climb. It twists and turns like a twisty-turny thing.

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.

"Malmesbury (/ˈmɑː(l)mzbəri/) is a town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. As a market town it became prominent in the Middle Ages as a centre for learning focused on and around Malmesbury Abbey, the bulk of which forms a rare survival of the dissolution of the monasteries. Once the site of an Iron Age fort, in the early medieval period it became the site of a monastery famed for its learning and one of Alfred the Great's fortified burhs for defence against the Vikings. Æthelstan, the first king of all England, was buried in Malmesbury Abbey when he died in 939." Cit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malmesbury

When entering from Kingscote, remember to turn off the main track and head down another less well-defined grassy track to enter the woods at a gate. If you reach a 5 bar gate on the main track you've gone too far. Turn back because continuing will lead you into a world of pain... I know from experience! The start of the track can be a little muddy in places, but improves progressively as you continue down the valley to end on pristine gravel towards the Horsley end. The climb in the opposite direction is a little tough, but eminently doable on a gravel bike in good conditions. The grassy slope at the end is a bit of a leg burner and would be nigh on impossible for all but the most rugged of bikes if there is any moisture whatsoever.

A great descent or climb depending how keen you are. Nice and steady. Cattle grid at bottom.

Lovely market town, lots of nice small shops and cafe's

Jacks Cafe at Town Hall good coffee stop

A great place to stop. Sit on the square and enjoy a coffee in the sun.

A beautiful Cotswolds town with lots of interesting buildings and corners to explore.

A beautiful town with many fascinating buildings.

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

can be muddy when wet, but hard underneath

Battle through the beginning and after you've tackled the first hairpin it relents a bit, but save a little bit for the last couple of hundred metres of the steep stuff, it kicks up again. Your legs will be relieved to know that the remaining climb over the common is much shallower.

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.

Practice your switchback descending skills on the way down!
