For the wife and my 30th Birthdays this May we are hiring an E-type Jaguar from Gloucester, driving up to Stratford for a night, then down to Blenheim Palace and then back to Gloucester at the end of the 48hr rental.

Its not a particularly long distance between any of the destinations so there is scope for a couple of detours for good driving roads.

Has anyone got any advice / recommendations for good roads in this triangle please?

TIA

Burford - Bibury - Cirencester is my Sunday morning blast. Great "driving" road. Just obey the limits through the villages!!!!
