I'm an experienced Oxford guide who turned my hobby cycling the Cotswolds, into this fun tour activity. Electric bikes allow you to ride up and down gentle slopes & to experience an active day out in nature, without breaking sweat or getting sore muscles! We will see the remains of a Roman villa, a medieval manor house & enjoy a pub lunch at an award winning pub. Coach tours to the Cotswolds all drop off at the same places which get crowds. On this tour, instead we will visit small villages & see historic sites, away from the crowds, including some of the best scenery. The Cotswolds is a scenic part of England located only 70 minutes by train from London Paddington or less than 30 minutes tax ride from Oxford. It's my pleasure to share these sights & heritage with you on an active cycling tour. Participants must be fit and aged 14+ as the Cotswolds roads are lots of up and down cycling but the scenery plus the villages here are beautiful. Default itinerary is 10am to 5.30pm.
