Starting at the Market Place in the centre of Cirencester, turn down Cricklade Street (by HSBC Bank). Go straight over at the traffic Lights. After Watermoor Church the road swings round sharply right up towards a large roundabout. Follow the cycle path underneath the main road. As you emerge at the other side, follow the road around to the left. At the T-junction, turn right signposted to Siddington and Water Park and then straight on to Siddington. Past the post office on your left and just shortly after the Greyhound, take the right hand fork. Continue out of the village ignoring the first turning on the right. The road then bends round and at a grassy triangle take the left fork down a very quiet country lane. The road descends very gradually down towards the Water Park. At the end the lane meets a busy back road to Cirencester, turn right and almost immediately left again to Shorncote along another very quiet country lane.
In Shorncote, the road bends right at the Church (still downhill) (4miles) and at the post box continue straight on. At the end of this lane, you should be besides a large blue sign indicating the Keynes County Park, turn left to the Water Park which has a cafˇ and shop, car parking, boat hire, angling day tickets bike hire and toilets (4.5miles). Turn left into the Water Park, and turn right. The main lake and millennium building should be on your left hand side. Exit left by the short stay car park. Turn right towards Somerford Keynes. Straight on past the Bakers Arms and just after the Church, take the left turning to Kemble and Ewen (6.5 miles). As you approach Ewen, take the left hand fork round the back of the Wild Duck Inn (8miles). Turn left towards the village and rejoin the main road.
Turn right by the Thatched Cottage, turn right at the next bend and follow the road along the canal to eventually meet one of the back roads to Cirencester. Turn left and then after a short while turn left again, into Somerford Road. Follow this road over the mini roundabout to a junction. Continue straight over and down the hill into Cirencester. At the next mini roundabout by Waitrose turn right down Ashcroft Road. At the end walk left along Cricklade Street and back to the Market Place in Cirencester.
