Staying on-road

Where the main route described goes off-road, an on-road alternative is described in the margin and marked on the map with a dashed route line.

Warnings

Warnings, including comments about tricky terrain, are also highlighted in the margin on coloured panels to make them hard to miss.

Conventions and abbreviations

Routes on the Sustrans National Cycle Network are abbreviated to NCN followed by the route number, for example National Cycle Network Route 5 is NCN5. Long-distance cycle routes, such as the Avon Cycle Way, are also abbreviated to their acronyms (ACW).

‘Towards’ or ‘to’

Where a signpost or map direction takes you towards a place (such as Bibury), but you will turn off before getting there, it is described as ‘towards Bibury’. Where it takes you all the way there, it is written as ‘to Bibury’.

Key waypoints

Places and features are highlighted in bold in the route description if they are shown on the accompanying route map, giving you an at-a-glance checklist of key waypoints. OS Grid references are given in a few places where there is no other suitable landmark/map feature available.
