The “W” Hill Climb (Nailsworth to Minchinhampton Common)

Highlight • Trail

Testing twisty climb out of Nailsworth that peaks at 15%. Apparently named after its shape viewed on a map. At the top on a clear day one is rewarded with awesome views across Gloucestershire. The old lodge next to golf course is worth a stop for good food and drink.

Minchinhampton Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautiful village in the Cotswolds that may not be on the top 10 lists to visit, but is absolutely worth it. Small-scale and beautiful and moreover quiet and with several nice cafes and a pub. The surrounding Common is also particularly noteworthy.

Bridleway in The Cotswolds National Landscape

Highlight • Cycleway

Multiple bridleways and byways branching off in all directions and seem to very quiet and not well used. Plenty of options from wide gravel tracks to narrow single-track, across field margins or into the woods.
