Geo-Trips :: West of the Cotswolds
Bidford-on-Avon
A drive from Yarnton, Sun, 19 Oct 2025 by David Howard
Just before the clocks went back I looked to see the easiest trip I could do to cover new ground, and the Woodstock Road from Oxford had quite a bit of green between the main roads so was the best candidate. Evesham didn't have a huge range of routes before it ran out of material so followed the Avon north to the next bridge at Salford and then returned on the A46, oddly a road I first encountered about 150 miles away in Caistor when I was surprised a road in Lincolnshire started with a 4. I squeezed another little road in heading back to Broadway before darkness totally fell. It rained most of the time but it rarely stops me any more.
