The Cotswolds is perfect for cyclists, there are bridleways and quiet country lanes galore. While you'll struggle to avoid a few uphill stretches at least most are relatively short and gentle, and your efforts will have earnt you a guilt-free drink and meal in one of the hostelries so thoughtfully scattered along your route!
There are a number of companies offering guided or self-guided cycling tours and holidays - battle the hilly wolds with electric bikes if you'd prefer! If you'd rather do your own thing there are a number of downloadable cycle rides or just buy a map and plan your own route.
If you enjoy competing in or watching cycle races, off-road cycling events include Heaven of the South, Hell of the North and sportives.
