Malmesbury
- At least 90 miles
This is based on a ride of
105 miles I did a few years ago, that went Burford - Northleach
- Cirencester - Malmesbury - Cricklade - Highworth - Faringdon -
Oxford. There is almost certinly a cafee in Malmesbury; unfortunately,
I turned up with £1-19 in my pocket and no money in my bank
account, so I ended up eating a roll and an iced bun from a bakers
instead. Definitely worth a visit, though probably only in the summer.
- At Fairford
, take the A417 through the village towards Cirencester.
- Turn left after about three miles on the A417, through Meysey
Hampton to Down Ampney and eventually the A419.
- Go straight across the A419; turn right in Cerney Wick then
left at the next crossroads; follow this road through the middle
of the Cotswold water park to Oaksey.
- Take the right fork after Oaksey to Eastcourt; then turn left
to Crudwell and right to Malmesbury.
- From Malmesbury, follow the B4040 through Minety to Cricklade.
- Turn right onto the A419 then next left off at Seven Bridges
to Castle Eaton, Hannington and Highworth.
- From Highworth it's back through Coleshill and Faringdon, the
first half of the Highworth
ride in reverse.
