Bridleway in The Cotswolds National Landscape

Highlight • Cycleway

Multiple bridleways and byways branching off in all directions and seem to very quiet and not well used. Plenty of options from wide gravel tracks to narrow single-track, across field margins or into the woods.

Waste Bottom Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very muddy narrow track, super fun but not much option other than to follow it down. Wouldn't recommend riding up it

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A fun challenge on a gravel bike. I'd recommend some tread on your tyres and easy gearing.

Great bridleway gravel track linking to Kingscote to Horsley. Suitable for MTB and gravel bikes (ideally 40mm tyres). Multi-use path so as ever be respectful of others.
