At the heart of many beautiful roads and climbs in the North Cotswolds

Chesteron Windmill was built in 1632 and is one of the oldest surviving windmills in England. It was originally used for grinding corn and has a rich history ties to the agricultural practices of the region.

Edgehill Castle (Tower) which is now a rather nice pub/restaurant. The castle was built in the 18th Century as a 'sham' castle reputedly on the exact spot where Charles I raised his standard before the Battle of Edgehill during the first English Civil War. Apparently Cromwell got there too late for the battle.

The church in Blockley was dedicated to the two Saints PETER & PAUL, also known as the "Prince of the Apostles". Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th for all major denominations. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men" together with his brother Andrew. In works of fine art, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other forms of execution, a long, painful death struggle) that was reserved for the citizens of Rome.

At the foot of Edge hill. Nice little town.

strange 'castle', with nice views.

Great little climb with enough twists turns and gradient variation to keep things interesting.

We shouldn’t have to highlight where there is nice smooth tarmac but we do, this is a good bit and it’s a quite road too.

The Church of St Peter and St Paul in Blockley is Norman, built in around 1180. The church was extended on the north side towards the end of the 13th century. Several other additions have been made over the last few hundred years and now only one of the original Norman Lancet windows remain.

Just below the turn from the top of Lady Elizabeth Hill Climb (see separate highlight), beautiful views open up to the South over the Cotswolds. Take a moment to enjoy on your way up/down.

Something different in the Cotswolds. Easy to miss, if you don't look right (South) while on that stretch of road.

Great climb. Relatively wide and good quality road. Nice views during the ascent. The road is quite exposed, so if you are aiming for a good time, ride the climb with wind from Westerly directions.

A tough little climb with a steep bit in the beginning and towards the end. Keep something in the tank for the final push to the top.

The continuous but officially separate villages of Upper and Middle Tysoe plus the nearby hamlet of Lower Tysoe. The church was built in the 11th century but added to and rebuilt in the 13th, 14th and 15th century's. It's now a grade 1 listed building.

Wonderful ancient church here

Beautiful Cotswolds village. Worth a short detour into the dead-end road that leads through the village. For refuelling, Blockley Cafe has an excellent choice of food and drink!

This Methodist Church has been here since 1837.

Lovely quiet road with open views over fields and countryside before descent into Kineton.

That is one big windmill, it must be so efficient where it is...
