We also want to encourage people to upload their favourite routes. If you have a favourite ride please get in contact with us and we will add it to the page.

1. Quantock Villages Circular Road Route

Distance – 20miles

Time – 1-3 hours

Level – Strenuous

This circular route takes in the lovely Quantock villages of Bishops Lydeard, Kingston St Mary , Chedon Fitzpaine and West Monkton. It avoids most main roads and instead sticks to quiet country lanes. We have chosen Bishops Lydeard for the Start/finish as it has the greatest number of pubs and shops but it can done from any start point. This is useful if you happen to being staying at Mill Meadow or Somerset Yurts.

While most of the route is undulating the climb through Broomfield up to Colthelstone is particularly strenuous. However, at the summit you can reward yourself with a cream tea at Pines Cafe.
