Cotswold Bike Tours

Our favourite Cotswold cycling tours

This quintessentially English area of countryside is packed full of hidden gems that can be explored by bike. Our selection of Cotswolds cycling holidays meander from quiet country lanes to honey coloured, quaint villages. Visit wandering streams, sheep clad lush green hills and local pubs that serve up welcome gourmet plates on our cycling tours.

This scenic area is defined by its rippling terrain - the word 'Wolds' meaning 'hills'. To spare tired legs, we have incorporated E-bikes into our itineraries, making it easier than ever to glide from A to B, saving your energy for exploring local farm shops and tearooms. Wide-open spaces, greenery and wonderfully fresh air come in an abundance, making our Cotswolds cycling tours the perfect escape from city life.

Take a full week to relax and unwind on one of our longer cycling holidays, or indulge in a weekend getaway - whichever you choose, you will be greeted by the finest wines, boutique spa accommodation and gourmet dining.

After a long day in the saddle it was nice to know you would be in a great hotel in the evening to relax and enjoy a nice meal in the restaurant.

Outstanding Natural Beauty

The Cotswolds is listed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and you only need to visit to find out why. The rolling hills and ancient towns create a landscape of timeless wonder. Another notable feature of the Cotswolds is the traditional farm wall of piled stones. Symbolic of the British countryside, you’ll find the beautiful hills laced with them, creating a gorgeous tapestry to enjoy on your Cotswolds cycling holiday.

Local Goods

The vibrant rural culture in the Cotswolds means that there are farmer's markets galore. A Cotswolds cycling holiday would not be complete without tasting all the wonderful local cheese, tempting local beer, and regional specialities. Keep an eye out for Gloucester Cheese in particular.
