Field Edge Track in the Cotswolds

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

There are lots of great gravel/mtb tracks (be careful some are footpaths) between Chavenage and Avening and this is a fun section that blasts along the side of the fields with a nice hardpacked surface

Cranmore Lane Gravel Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Signposted as Cranmore Lane at the Shipton Moyne end. A superb track and a great way to join the Fosse Way. If you turn right on to the Fosse Way …

Stone Bridge Over the River Avon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Careful on the downhill approach to this. There has been heavy erosion. There is a path over the bridge. Hopefully, someone will have done some "conservation" (or repair) work on it since last year.
