Miserden Village

Highlight • Pub

Great spot for a break, views, and little village

Tip by

6.65 km

Wishanger Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A lovely, quiet and undulating lane that links the top of the Sheepscombe Climb or the even Slad Valley Climb and Miserden.

Tip by

11.3 km

Beech Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A good climb from Painswick up a narrow, but lovely lane. There are some steeper ramps, but these are never too long and punctuated by flatter sections.

Tip by

13.2 km

St Mary's Church and Yew Trees, Painswick

Highlight • Historical Site

Famous for the 99 topiary yew trees. Legend has it that if a hundredth tree is planted the devil will come and pull it out by the roots.

Painswick is a lovely example of a Cotswold town.

Tip by

13.4 km

Described as the ‘Queen of the Cotswolds’, Painswick is a beautiful village surrounded by some of Gloucestershire's most delightful countryside. The historic wool village boasts quaint, narrow streets with buildings dating back to the 13th century.

Tip by

13.8 km

Greenhouse Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

A more consistent climb from Painswick to Bull's Cross than Stepping Stone Lane / Yokehouse Lane (the former being very steep). Never too steep but still a good challenge. It is also pleasantly shaded in summer.

Daneway Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A great descent through the woods, or a steady climb out of the valley. Watch out for deer!

Tip by

Bull's Bank Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A stunningly beautiful valley and a very quiet road. The climbs out of the valley in either direction are fairly long, but never very steep and quite amenable.
