One of the perks of riding in the Cotswolds is that almost every single village has its own cosy local pub, offering the perfect place to stop off and refuel. On top of that, many now boast independent cafes serving everything from German pastries to bottomless breakfasts. Truly, you’d be hard pressed to find a better-fed cyclist than one in the Cotswolds.
What’s more, the discerning visitor will find a huge range of highly acclaimed gastropubs, with choices ranging from upmarket bangers and mash by the fireplace to Michelin-starred fine dining in beautiful rural settings. We’ve picked some of the best options for cyclists to seek out, whether it’s for a quick mid-ride cuppa or the perfect place for a special treat.
