    Tips

    Running

    Black Down is the highest area in the Mendips, the summit Beacon Batch stands at 325m offering great views north towards Bristol and south over Cheddar and the Mendips.
    The running is good with lots of ascent for the south and brilliant moorland trails. It can get a bit boggy around the edges in the winter but generally it drains well, and you can run here all year. The best routes are from Burrington Combe in the north or Cheddar in the south but there are loads of options.
