A gentle, mainly flat ride through the northern Cotswolds. Starting high up on the Cotswold escarpment, we pass the famous gardens at Kiftsgate and Hidcote before a long descent to the village of Mickleton. Things get tough with the steep climb of Baker’s Hill before an undulating ride back to the market town of Chipping Campden. Watch out for how the railway crossing gates miraculously do an "Open Sesame" for us before the ride ends in the old cloth weaving village of Blockley.
