You can follow the BaseCamp route or take your own, the choice is yours.

There's always the Premier Inn next door, some folks prefer one or the other, nice to have a choice at the same venue.

"If you book a Premier Flex rate you may choose whether to pay for your room in full at the time of booking or to pay on arrival."

Starting with route No.8, B4632 Cheltenham to Stratford, taken from Great British Drives, https://www.freedomtogo.co.uk/where-to- ... ish-drives, have come up with a potential circular route from Tewkesbury. It's approx. 100 miles in just over 3 hours riding time. I'm not familiar with the Cotswolds area, but have included the Malvern Hills on the return ride.

Any comments or other suggestions for a ride out from Tewkesbury would be most welcome, thanks.
