Road Bike vs. Gravel - For Beginner Riders

Can I just say that, as I've been finding out while planning a visit to a friend who lives in Scotland, that you are a very long way away. Some bits are anyway.

Hopefully @Baldy can advise me which are the nicest bits I could do on a summer evening's extended commute.

Oxfordshire (south)!

Just follow the canals to Manchester, then the second city devide to Glasgow. From there NCN route 7 to Aberfoyle. Do a quick circuit on the forest tracks before heading back down south. If you get a wiggle you should just make last orders.

plenty of 'yer actual gravel' in and around Snowdonia, I'm putting wider knobblies on next time though
