Coln and Leach Valley Loop
A quiet, beautiful route, sampling many of villages the Cotswolds are famous for. The route is a figure of 8 - so you can choose to cut it short for a half day ride at Quennington (or stay in the pub)!
The route takes in Barnsely, before heading East to Quennington and the River Coln. Then it is well worth continuing to the beautiful villages of Southrop and the Leach valley before turning for home through the stunning Hatherop and Coln St Aldwyns with a super pub and village shop/cafe/bakery. Returning through Bibury and Ablington finish off a superb (if not slightly strenous) day out.
A full days ride, but well worth it!
Suitable for:
