Cycle the Cotswolds: Oxford to Bath

Discover Oxford, the Cotswolds and Bath, three picture-perfect illustrations of quintessential Englishness, on this culture-filled cycling adventure. We start in the university city of Oxford, where more than 30 prime ministers and 55 Nobel Prize winners attended world-acclaimed colleges, before beginning our cycling from beautiful Burford. It’s then into the Cotswolds, a rural idyll cradling a nostalgic mix of historic villages, rolling countryside and, of course, centuries-old pubs. We end our cycling in Bath, where we tour the 2,000-year-old Roman spa complex and admire the iconic honey-stone Georgian buildings.

We stay in three hotels throughout this tour.



In Burford, we stay at The Prince of Burford, an 18th-century coaching inn turned 16-room hotel. End your day of cycling with a pint at the traditional bar or in the sunny beer garden.



In Rodborough, we stay at The Bear at Rodborough, a cosy retreat centred on a 17th-century coaching inn built on National Trust-owned land. There’s a splendid bar and beer garden here too for your post-day drinks.



In Bath, we stay at the Hampton by Hilton, which is ideally located just 10 minutes from the museums and historical sites of the city.
