    I've been exploring the north Cotswolds in my Morgan Plus Four and thought others would be interested in two lovely country drives. Each is a varied loop through villages, fast country roads and single-lane back roads, mostly avoiding the main tourist bottlenecks and completely avoiding the tedious A40. Start/end point is Oxford although of course you can start from wherever you like.

    And for some spirited driving, both include the Charlbury-Burford "TT route", used by Youtuber Harry's Garage to test supercars. If you are lucky enough to get a day with no traffic, it's one of the best driving roads in southern England.

    1. Brunch (or afternoon tea!) at Bruern Farms, a lovely small cafe with local produce and cheery service; or lunch at the Double Red Duke in Clanfield. Then back over the very unusual 5p toll bridge at Swinford.

    2. Pop out via Stow-on-the-Wold to get a pint of fabulous rich, fresh milk, from Fir Farm (their little self-service hut also has some great meat direct from the farm). Then on through beautiful Lower Slaughter, past the River Windrush and the Burford-Charbury "TT route".

    I've not put photos on these routes, but if one of the RouteXperts thinks these are worthy of the general library I can do so next time I'm out there. And I can make more from further explorations if this of interest.

      Nice route, Mouse. However, both are the same! You might want to correct one of the links.

        • Seasonal closures affect not only seasonal road closures (mountain passes and the like) but also closures due to roadworks. This is why the route takes you through the closure even during planning, even though Here is actually aware of it.
