Fantastic stretch of double track running through a lush quiet woodland. Workman's Wood is one of six woods that makes up the Cotswolds Commons and Beechwoods National Nature Reserve (NNR). Its steep sided banks lined with beech trees and bubbling brooks make it an idyllic woodland to cycle through.

Careful on the golf course, stay to the edges. Fantastic views over Gloucester and stroud. If you want an express route down take Stockley and enjoy rocketing into Upton st. Leonards.

Fascinating archaeology, geology and nature combine at Haresfield Beacon. This spectacular viewpoint, which was once a strategically positioned hillfort on the Cotswold limestone escarpment, affords views across the England/Wales border and into the Brecon Beacons. All around is a mixed landscape of woodland and chalk grassland, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Bit of a climb but worth it

The Painswick Rococo Gardens are the only Rococo Gardens in the UK, full of little follies, different types of gardens, sculptures and mazes. If you are in the area already, well worth checking them out.

A country park owned jointly by the National Trust and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, there is no end to the beautiful views, hiking trails and wildlife spotting options here. The hill lies on the western edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Cotswolds Way and the Gloucestershire Way long-distance paths both cross the hill. Bluebells, adders, birds and vibrant woodland can all be found on the hill. It's stunning throughout the year with every season bringing something new.

View over the Severn from Painswick Beacon - you can see May Hill and even further.
