We recommend using cycle path to get to start as A40 is single carriageway at this point.

Riders can cross A40 using bridge, just after the road becomes Dual carriageway.

Note: From Witney, there is no West bound entry onto the A40. You would have to go East to Barnard Gate and turn there.

Parking

  • Parking at the Village Hall is imited.
  • Please park in North Leigh village with consideration for people who live there.
  • There is plenty of parking on Common Road near the village HQ.
  • There is a reasonable amount of free parking in the Barnard Gate layby off A40. This is also closer to the start.

After Finish

After finish, Riders should continue on A40 and must use cycle path to return along A40.
