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.

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.

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

Great views and hence, usually lots of people and dogs to avoid. The climb up from Cheltenham Road is short and punchy.

This is worth a trip on any bike, worth exploring from every direction, and certainly worth visiting cranham woods for even more good downhill, singletrack and fireroads. Just be mindful of cows and considerate to Golfers and Walkers who also share the beacon and it's surrounding land (also the royal william Pub nearby is nice!)

Stunning gardens in a lovely overall setting. Good free parking area. Play area (hidden away), lake, maze, second hand bookshop, gift shop, cafe. The shop is not open atm and maze is closed - children there seemed to mange to make their own entertainment though. Cafe was very welcoming and still has lovely food although limited due to COVID atm and only takeway currently. Toilet facilities usually include baby change but only portaloo now. Pretty good on the COVID arrangements and you need to book ahead. They are trying to work out how they can open up a bit more but limited space in cafe/shop building.
