Rowberrow Warren Woods Bridleways

Highlight • MTB Park

In Rowberrow Warren Woods you'll find a large collection of bridleways and tracks through out the wood as well as lots of elevation changes. Off the side of the tracks are a number of singletrack trails of varying lengths and difficulties.
The network of bridleways on their own make for some great gravel riding and connect lots of local towns with some awesome views.
The ground is mostly clay and limestone and so can become very slippy and muddy in the wet.

Due to the large number of bridleways and the horse trekking centre you will come across lots of horse riders and groups especially in the summer. So keep an eye out and give them plenty of space, they are always friendly.

Rowberrow Warren

Highlight • MTB Park

Rowberrow Warren is a leased wood by Forestry England on the western side of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a very popular spot with all users but particularly horse riders and mountain bikers. Please take care as there are lots of bridleways and paths and horses can easily be spooked by fast bikes. Ride Mendips look after the official Mountain Bike Trails. Making new trails is illegal. Find more information about the trails here ridemendips.org

Archaeological Site

Beacon Batch summit trig point

Highlight • Viewpoint

This special site is designated as a Site of Special Scientific interest for its valuable wildlife habitats and is a nationally important site for its archaeology from the late Stone Age and Bronze Age through to the Second World War. Black Down provides the largest area of open access on the Mendip
Hills at over 400 ha.

Black Down, like most heathlands, is formed through a combination of factors– soil type, rainfall and human activity. The underlying Old Red Sandstone rock together with high rainfall created a waterlogged and acidic soil. The removal of tree cover by our Bronze Age ancestors 2,000 years ago helped to make sure that the soil stayed damp and acid. Only certain plants can survive in this type of ground. The key species include heather or ling, bell heather, bilberry, purple moor grass and European gorse, along with mosses and lichens.

Now the bracken is managed by harvesting and grazing by cattle and wild ponies to allow the heathers and grasses to flourish again. Black Down supports a wide variety of birds, mammals, reptiles and invertebrates.
