The route uses well-marked minor roads and old railroad lines through Eden Valley, passing Roman forts in Carlisle, the market town of Hexham, and Haltwhistle with its medieval buildings made from ancient Roman stones.

Pedal through honey-colored stone villages across the Cotswolds, covering 23 to 53 km each day on quiet Roman roads and wooded valleys. Cross historic fords of the River Dunt through the Duntisbournes, check out Chedworth Roman Villa (one of Britain's best-preserved Romano-British sites), and ride through Bibury with its famous weavers' houses along the River Coln.
