Volledige omschrijving

Fietskaart Cotswold cycling map - Goldeneye

Productomschrijving: De Cotswolds zijn een AONB regio, een regio van uitmuntend natuurschoon. In Engeland geklasseerd als AONB, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Zo heeft de UK er een pak verdeeld over het land. De Cotswold kun je een beetje vergelijken met Cornwall, maar dan zonder de kustlijnen. Hier vindt je prachtige landschappen en trails voor fietsers van jong naar ouder.

Engelse omschrijving: The Cotswolds are ideal for the touring cyclist - representing England at its very best. Long, winding lanes connect villages with beautiful churches, excellent pubs and delicious tea rooms. The landscape these cycle routes pass through is rich in imagery, from rolling pastures, dry-stone walls and trickling trout streams, to honey-coloured stone cottages in sleepy hamlets.
