Road route recommendations - Cotwolds or Suffolk :)

[Zippee]

Hi all,
Looking for a recommendation for a decent road route (circa 55 miles give or take) either in the Eastern Cotswold area or Suffolk way (Poss round Thetford way). Ideally as few main A roads as poss as wanting something quite scenic and reasonably traffic light for a group of 4 of us.
I know a lot of you have some good strava type routes saved so hoping you may be able to help.
Areas given aren't set in stone but needs to be a max of an hour and a half drive from Bedford as we want something a little different to the local roads.

What counts as Eastern Cotswolds? Stow on the Wold/Bourton kind of way?

If it's that, I've got a great route, a bit longer than 55 miles (maybe 70?) - I'll post it later.

That would be perfect One of my favourite areas as well....

See if this works - I don't know if they're publicly available? Otherwise add me on Strava (Russell Gowers) and I'll share it with you.

It starts and finishes from my road, but obviously you could cut out the bit which goes into the middle of Cheltenham and start from either Burford or Stow-on-the-Wold. If you wanted to shorten it and avoid Cheltenham you could go from Winchcombe down Campden Lane to Guiting Power.

A mate of mine did two laps of this last weekend as part of some charity challenge, so I haven't actually ridden it myself just yet, but I know 50% of these roads and they're excellent. I'm going to give it a go on Saturday I think.

Thankyou so much for that. I'll have a proper look at the weekend as it only gives me limited views without fully logging into strava.
