Fantastic Scenery, Even Better on A Sunny Day

Stroud Brewery is located alongside the T&S canal, which makes this an ideal stop for a drink and something to eat. I wouldn`t say this place is cyclist hostile, more cyclist unfriendly. Let me explain, on arriving from canal side, bikes were put in the adjacent garden (not creating a trip hazard) , which attracted the attention of one of the staff who requested they be moved to the bike rack at the front of building. So that's completely out of view to everyone. Other cyclists placed bikes under the stairs, which this member of staff complained was blocking a fire exit.

The woods bit is always great, but the second bit around the fields can get muddy in winter and overgrown in summer. Spring is your best bet.

The bridleway is called Steps Lane and runs through the Gatcombe Estate. The steep bit of the climb at the bottom is mainly tarmac and then 50m of steep rough stuff then fairly flat. The track going up leads towards Minchinhampton Common which has some excellent riding.

Food was excellent but took an age to arrive as cafe was far too busy - need to avoid Saturdays in future
