Stunning Duck Pond in the equally beautiful (and very sleepy) village of Alderton. The ducks have nesting boxes & are free to come & go as they please. You can't go "in." As such, there's a fence around the pond & nest boxes, but it was lush to watch the array of ducks for a while!!

Picturesque Cotswold village built around the church of St Andrew. There is a pretty village pond and a pub.

Luxury duck residence! Nice spot to stop and enjoy a snack in the sun.

A brilliant gravel track through a wonderful valley.

A stunning valley with lots of option for walking or cycling.

Amazing views, with some beautiful white dusty roads, what I imagine riding in Tuscany to feel like on a sunny day. The second half back out of the valley is a very steep climb but a fun challenge

A picturesque fishing lake. A good place to stop for a break.

A delightful footpath through the valley to the lakes. Gets a little boggy around the lakes, but nothing too bad.

Lovely village duck pond.

Quintessential Cotswolds gravel, complete with its own private lake. Great tracks with a bit of a tough climb to get out the other side. Nice quiet spot to stop for a picnic.

Bitterwell Lake is a man-made lake that once belonged to the Coalpit Heath Colliery Company. The lake was used to soak pit props for the mine until the closure of the mine. In 1930, the lake was aquired by the Westerleigh Parish Council who transformed it into a place to fishing, swimming, and boating. You can find more information, here: https://bitterwelllake.co.uk/

Fun section of gravel/double track ending on a punchy little climb to test the legs (west to east)
