Quick ride by bicycle from Swindon Village to Cheltenham

You'll pedal through quiet neighborhoods and patches of green, with only mild elevation changes, so it's suitable for all experience levels. The route covers classic Cotswold scenery, gradually leading you into Cheltenham. Along the way, you'll notice the town's Regency architecture starting to peek through as you approach. Once you arrive in Cheltenham, you can reward yourself with a coffee or explore one of its famous parks.

Fun fact: Cheltenham is well known for its annual Literature, Jazz, and Science festivals, and it’s nicknamed "The Garden Town of England." So, whether you're ending your ride at the Pittville Park lakes or browsing the Promenade, there's plenty waiting at your destination!
