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.
