Cross from the Severn-side country into the high Cotswolds on the B4077. The climb by Stanway Hill and the open country beyond Ford give this direct road its appeal.
Combine the B4077 with the B4068 and Cleeve Hill in a focused western Cotswold circuit. It concentrates on the crossing roads instead of adding village-centre sightseeing spurs.
Leave Stow on the B4068 and continue along the A436 to Andoversford. Keep to the through-road above Naunton; dropping into the village is an optional excursion rather than part of the driving line.
Pair the B4425 with the upper Thames country on a loop through Burford, Lechlade and Fairford. The northern half supplies the Cotswold driving road; the southern return changes the landscape without retracing it.
Driving times exclude stops. Leave time for the views, check each route’s notes and make the journey your own.
