1 Dover’s Hill This renowned climb needs no introducti­on, used multiple times for the National Hill-climb Champs and a favourite when riding in the area. Tough all the way up, it gets even steeper at the top.

2 Chipping Campden You can’t get more quintessen­tially Cotswolds than Chipping Campden, with its 14th century high street, resplenden­t with honey-coloured stone buildings. Care is needed though as its tourist population makes it busy all year round.

3 Ebrington Ridge After a steady climb up you find yourself riding along the top of the ridge on a narrow and quiet road with spectacula­r views across the Cotswolds in all directions.

Favourite cafe The Old Church

Set on the edge of the Cotswolds, this cafe and shop are the pride of the community — the old church it is based in was falling into disrepair, so the locals got together and bought the property, restoring and repurposin­g the building to serve the local area.

The Old Church, Grump Street, Ilmington CV36 4LD
