French Weir

Highlight • Bridge

There's been a weir on the River Tone here since the 13th century but, due to flooding, multiple iterations have been destroyed. Today, the weir is rather more stable and makes for an eye-catching feature on the river, next to its eponymous park. You can cross the weir on foot or bicycle.

Braziers Coffee Roasters

Highlight • Cafe

Braziers is a coffee roaster where you can buy quality house blends of coffee beans, ground or at wholesale. They also sell coffee making kit like filters and pour over funnels.
The café serves great coffee as well as other drinks, cakes and food. It's not huge and it's a good idea to bring a lock as you can't always see your bike from the tables.
Open everyday from 8:30 - 16:00.

Blackdown Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A proper hill to make your way into this beautiful region. The surroundings are rather spoilt by litter in summer, though.
