Druid's Avenue Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Technical climb/descent made trickier in the wet weather due to becoming a little stream! Lovely alternative ascent of the Mendips out of Wells.

7.52 km

One of the best climbs in the South West. Good road surface, nice rhythm to the gradients, one of the longest about and very quiet on traffic. Gorgeous rolling roads at the top also. Save your energy for the final stretch as it's the steepest part.

Rocky Off-Road Trail, Mendip Hills

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Man this off road segment off Old Bristol Road was interesting but it’s properly tricky. Very rocky. Very mucky. Deep wheel tracks. When I went down it it had been made more difficult by a Land Rover that had had some fun. I can’t imagine it came out of it well! Wonder what it’ll be like in summer. Still tricky I imagine but hopefully not so deep in mud that you can’t stay on your feet (as was the case for me!)
