The Cotswolds – we love it. Quiet lanes, bubbling rivers, rolling green hills, the warm, golden stone of the villages, and the big, big Cotswold sky. We lived here for years and we’re delighted to have the chance to share some of our favourite parts of it with you.

For the first time since 2018 we’re returning to the northern end of the Cotswolds National Landscape, staying at a new venue: a quirky place based around an 18th-century farmhouse and barn, with comfortable converted farm buildings. 

This is a weekend Beano, with three nights’ accommodation, starting on Friday evening and finishing after the last ride on Monday afternoon.

Arrive on the Friday late afternoon onwards; there will be tea/coffee and cakes waiting for you, then dinner in the evening.

On Saturday and Sunday we head out for all-day rides on the Cotswold lanes. Along the way there will be stops for coffee and lunch and interesting things to see. Back at base there will be tea and cakes, then a chance to get changed and relax before dinner in the evening.

Monday’s ride will be a little shorter, finishing back at base where there will be tea and cake and the opportunity to shower and change before you head for home.

Our rides take us north along the edge of the Cotswold escarpment, with panoramic views out across the Evesham Vale. We travel east across the gentler countryside and country estates around Moreton-in-Marsh, stopping at the prehistoric Rollright stone circle, where legend says it’s impossible to count the stones and get the same number every time. We journey south into the heart of the Cotswolds, discovering near-forgotten lanes and drovers’ roads, with the option of visiting a Roman villa.
