What to do and see in Cotswolds, England: The Best Bike Tours

March 30, 2022 Kiesha Cripe

The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

Hikes & Bikes

As a local, family owned company, Hikes and Bikes specialises in self-guided and guided cycling and walking holidays in the Cotswolds, offering excellent knowledge of the area. We strive to showcase the best of the Cotswolds, including trails such as the Bath and Wiltshire Tour, and less well known routes, like the South Cotswold Ring, that will take you through quaint chocolate box villages and show you another side to the Cotswolds landscape. New for autumn 2020, we now offer one-day small group guided walks, with our expert local guide leading the tours starting from the beautiful towns of Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh (with convenient train connections to London Paddington), and the village of Broadway. Our aim is to help everyone who visits the area to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of this corner of the world, and to “get away from it all”, on a walk off the beaten path. www.hikesandbikes.com
