Fietskaart van Cotswold met ondermeer 28 ingetekende rondritten en veel toeristische informatie.

Explore the Cotswolds by bike with this laminated, waterproof Cotswolds map. With 28 circular, clearly-marked routes this easy-to-use map will help you discover the best of the Cotswolds along the quietest country lanes. The Cotswolds are ideal for the touring cyclist and day-tripper.
 
They represent England at her very best. Long, winding lanes connect beautiful villages with excellent pubs and friendly tearooms. The landscape you cycle through is rich in imagery; rolling hills, dry-stone walls, lazy trickling trout streams and quaint, undisturbed hamlets.
 
Our Cotswold Cycling Country Lanes map includes:* Traffic-free family cycling trails - including the Stroud Valley Cycle Trail, The Oxford Waterway and the Forest of Dean Family Trail with recommendations on where to park. * National Cycle Network routes - the linked series of traffic-free paths and traffic-calmed roads being developed across the UK. * Our personal favourites - we've explored every corner of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to bring you the best circular routes to make the most of your weekend whether you fancy a lazy meander or a full-on tour.
 
These beautiful routes are all clearly marked on the map and designed to follow the quietest country lanes and to introduce you to the very best of the Cotswolds. (Scale: 1:100 000)
 
The Cotswolds are ideal for the touring cyclist. They represent England at her very best. Long, windy lanes connect beautiful villages with excellent pubs and friendly tearooms. The landscape you cycle through is rich in imagery; rolling, “galloping country”, dry-stone walls dividing vast, sweeping sheep pastures, lazy trickling trout streams and quaint hamlets undisturbed by coach, sightseer or time.  The landscape undulates, and as you reach the top of a little hill, you will rest and peer down a valley where evidence of local craftsmanship is ever present in the shape of tithe barns, churches, farms and cottages.  
 
The twenty-eight circular routes are designed to follow the quietest country lanes and to introduce you to the best of the Cotswolds. They are only an introduction. The purists may prefer to pursue their own course. They will, we hope, enjoy and appreciate the clarity of our mapping. So free the spirit for the joy of the open road…and enjoy the Cotswolds…. Happy Cycling, Bill Trelawney

Prachtige fietskaart Cotswolds

Prettig formaat, lekker stevig uitgevoerd en kan tegen een stootje. Mooi gedetailleerde fietskaart. Jammer van de te hoge verzendkosten.
