Picnic by the River Windrush at Naunton's Dovecote.

We start this ride at the village hall and ride towards Eyford until we reach Buckle Street. We head towards Bourton where we turn down a very quiet road with some pot holes with parts newly resurfaced and a splendid view towards White Shoots Hill. We descend a steep hill (near the lost village of Harford) before crossing the main road and heading towards Naunton.

The fifteen century Dovecote is situated by the River Windrush and has a stone bench. It is so peaceful here. We shall stop here and share a picnic. Please could each participant bring something to share. .

Then we climb up Summer Hill and where we are rewarded with more views. Then we ride back along Buckle Street for a short way before enjoying a lovely descent through Eyford. One small hill will take us back to the village.

A route circular route with beautiful views.

Quite country road with a stretch on the busier Buckle Street
