Let's ride- Summer of cycling- Broadway Tower and Chipping Campden

We start in Condicote and head out to Hinchwick. The first challenging hill is Spring hill. we then ride along with wonderful views across towards the Malverns. This part of the ride is along the escarpment slope so fairly flat to Broadway Tower. We cross the A44 and head downwards towards Campden. The historic honey coloured buildings make Chipping Campden a delightful Market town to cycle through. We head past the senior school (we can do a loop to see the Alms Houses) towards Ebrington. We can stop at Vegetable Matters for refreshments (haven ridden 14 miles). They have an outdoor seating area. The way back is via Paxford, Aston Magna (the second challenging climb) towards Batsord with a bit more climbing needed but super views at the top. We will cycle a very short distance on the A44 to get to the Sezincote road. Finally we will drop back into Condicote.

This is a circular route with interesting buildings and wonderful scenery. Broadway Tower stands on the escarpment slope, this is first land mark we pass, then we see many more in Chipping Campden- the Market hall, Almshouses. etc This is a hilly ride with a couple of challenging hills.

Mostly quiet road but with short stretches on main road A44 and A424. Also crossing the A44 at the top of Fish Hill.
