| Cotswold Audax - Refreshment
Stops All Beacon's Cotswold Audax events give you the opportunity
to eat and rest at comfortable, cycle-friendly cafés and hostelries. On
the Cotswold Outing, there are two official stop-off points, or 'controls'
(where, as well as getting refreshments, you pick up a sticker for your ride card).
If you are going clockwise, you will stop first at Charlecote and second at Welford;
if you are going anticlockwise, you stop at the same places, but in the reverse
order. At Charlecote, the café is in the Garden Store, clearly signposted next
door to Charlcote Park NT. Wheel your bike down the right-hand side of the store
to the gate at the end; please don't take your bike inside the store building.
At Welford, home-made refreshments will be available in the Memorial Hall: a small
building in the middle of the village directly opposite the maypole. On the Cotswold Journey, there are also two official stops.
The first is Broadway
Tower, which offers stunning views across the Vale of Evesham. The second
is at the George
and Dragon in Shutford, a beautiful little village near Banbury. The
Cotswold Expedition uses the same two stops as the Cotswold Journey and another
in between: The Maytime Inn,
Asthall. |
