I love this area for the Ford and the climb.

Generally very quiet and good challenge whichever way you do the route.

There is even an off road version which have done on the MTB too.

A climb in two parts, with some undulations in between. Long for the region. Nice and quiet roads with pretty views in the Cotswolds. The climb gets its name from the ford at the bottom (fortunately a bridge allows cyclists to avoid it).
