Holford Combe is one of those very rare places in the UK that's just as much fun up as down.

Actually, I'm not sure that such a place exists - and it's a complete blast heading down, as those many, many stream crossings will attest - but it's of a sufficient gradient that you gain quite a lot of height quite quickly, and those self-same stream crossings that are such fun going downhill serve to distract your attention from how hard you're working.

And it's all in gorgeous surroundings, too!

A last blast back to the car park takes you down one of the Quantocks' many combes or wooded valleys. It's along the path of an old river and is littered with rocks and roots and water splashes, making for a memorable end for those who love sublime singletrack!

A lovely combe that feels forgotten in time! Beautiful ancient woodland and streams to splash in.
