There is nothing better than spending time in the country. The stunning scenery, including golden fields in the spring, the vibrant rainbow-coloured country gardens in the summer, and the myriad of dark crimsons, yellows, & silvers in the autumn & winter, always take our breath away. Add the gorgeous historic towns & villages made of soft creamy sandstone, many of which regularly top the best places to visit in the Cotswolds & the UK, plus the local wildlife of ducks, geese, bees & even the odd snake, & the fantastic food and you have the perfect refresher to staying in the noisy city. Visiting many of the villages that are annually voted the best places in the Cotswolds, this tour offers you the opportunity to see some of the prettiest parts of Britain with someone who is passionate about the past, loves to eat (and knows the best places to stop for food), and who knows where to take a photo that will make your friends back home jealous of this unique, almost perfect, day out.

Enjoy a guided tour of one of England's most famous medieval haunted cities. That's right!- for example, the curiously named 'New college' was founded in 1379, literally on top of the Black Death plague pits. So no shortage of spectral monks pay visits to the college. Then we have Sir Thomas Pembroke, the inspiration for Nearly Headless Nick, who has a statue (with his head on) welcoming the youth and the souls past to make use of the eery rooms of the Bodleian library, founded in the 1400s. Plus learn some urban legends about Oxford's rogues, shady characters and the famous female convict who was sentenced to death but miraculously survived the gallows to live to tell her tale. Be brave and join us for a night of magic and ghoulish stories and end at a historic pub to watch the latest version of the town versus the gown waging battle of intellect and fists sometimes too!

It's my pleasure to share these sights & heritage with you on an active cycling tour. Participants must be fit and aged 14+ as the Cotswolds roads are lots of up and down cycling but the scenery plus the villages here are beautiful.
