DAY ONE: Moreton-in-Marsh to Winchcombe. Distance approx. 18 miles (29 km). After breakfast you will be picked up with the bikes and transported to the beautiful Cotswolds countryside to begin the ride. Heading west you reach the pretty villages of Batsford (with its arboretum), followed by Cutsdean. There are traditional pubs along the route to obtain refreshments or lunch. As you approach the ancient town of Winchcombe, Sudeley Castle and Gardens are well worth a visit. Winchcombe will be your base for the next 2 nights.  Overnight: Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England.

DAY TWO: A 14 mile (23 km) circular ride called ‘Secret Cotswolds’. This is a hilly route that takes you through some of the quieter Cotswold villages, such as Hailes with its Cistercian abbey. As this is only a short ride it allows you plenty of time to enjoy the many attractions and spectacular views you will encounter, and after the ride, time to explore the ancient town of Winchcombe. The village of Brockhampton is your last chance for a lunch on this ride unless you have packed one, because the route takes you deep into the Cotswold Hills with only the occasional hamlet.

Should you prefer an additional or alternative ride there is a circular 25 mile (40 km) ride called ‘Traditional Cotswolds’. From Winchcombe it is about 4 miles to Toddington on a mainly flat route with occasional climbing. The route then takes you through beautiful Cotswold villages where you will find Snowshill Manor, Stanway House, a steam railway and lots of lovely views. About halfway round the route is Broadway which offers a teddy bear museum, specialty shops and a wide variety of restaurants and pubs. But remember you are only halfway and there is still a lot to see as you return to Winchcombe. Overnight: Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England.

DAY THREE: Winchcombe back to Moreton-in-Marsh. Distance approx. 20 miles (31 km). Leaving Winchcombe this very nice ride takes you through villages like Guiting, Condicote and Broadwell.  It allows time to look around the larger town of Stow-on-the-Wold and finish back in Moreton-in-Marsh. You will be picked up from one of these towns to be transported back to Kingston-on-Thames where you can stay another night (not included in the tour price) or continue your travels.

DEPARTURE: The tour finishes after breakfast on the final morning (if you opted to stay an additional night).

Hi Richard,
we are now back in Sweden after a wonderful tour in Devon.

We really appreciate all the help and arrangements made by you!
All B'nBs were really good and the hosts were very nice. The hotel in 
Barnstaple was also good but we enjoyed the B'nBs moore.
Especially the family atmosphere.

The bicycles were good and the arrangements with the luggage transferred to 
all places worked without any complications what so ever.

We have already spoken to many friends about this arrangements, so don't be 
surprised if your clients from Sweden will increase.
We already think about were the next bicycle-tour in Britain will be. 
Probably in a less hilly area. :-)

Kind regards from a very satisfied couple from Stockholm /Rikard o Ann Epstein Stockholm, Sweden.

PS. In Oakhampton there was some difficulties finding some place to eat. Many 
of the restaurants were closed down. Just for your information.
