Cow Heaven Valley

Highlight • Cycleway

This road (B4039) can be nice to cycle along, but it carries a lot of traffic between Chippenham and Acton Turville. We usually avoid it as much as possible and use quieter lanes nearby.

Acton Turville Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

Yet another charming Cotswolds town.

Tip by

22.4 km

Rolling roads from Acton Turville to Easton Grey through lots of lovely Cotswold towns and villages. Usually reasonably quiet and often has a strong tail wind if going from West to East. Often featured in GCN videos.
