The Butchers Arms

Highlight • Pub

A fine country pub in the beautifully quiet Sheepscombe village. Perfect for a mid ride refreshment. Pairs well with the Cherry Glade Campsite should you decide to end your ride here.

Climb Through Cotswolds Commons and Beechwoods NNR

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A hidden gem of a wood! It looks like you're entering private property as you walk up the drive of a nice expensive house in Sheepscombe, but then the National Trust sign awaits. Very peaceful and untouched woodland with lots of options and a good climb up to Fostons Ash pub.

View of Slad Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

As you emerge from the woods you gain panoramic views of the fields and Slad Valley below which forms one of five valleys surrounding the town of Stroud.

These valley views are what the five valleys are famous for, and popularised in Lauri Lee's 'Cider with Rosie'
