アッシュ・プライヤーズでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The start of this segment is very muddy. If you keep to the right side (heading South) as you approach the stream, you should find a footbridge across (marked on the OS 25thou map) I followed the 4WD track into the stream, which isn't actually a ford straight over, but turns right along the streambed for about 40m until you get to a ramp out. This wasn't a ride, but a mid-calf deep wade, and definitely not to be tried after heavy rain.

Good coffee in Cotford St Luke

Amazing garden with so much colourful flowers

Moderate trail with slight elevation and amazing views

The railway makes a fun challenge ride. Friends or family members can ride the train and you can race on the bike there and back with an ice cream or chips on the sea front in the middle.

A quintessential Quantock village, West Bagborough is a wonderful example of the quiet life this region is known for. Listed in the Domesday Book, this little settlement is packed with history – Roman coins were even discovered here. The village retains a pub, the Rising Sun, and a historic manor house, Bagborough House. Its church dates back to the 15th century although it underwent significant renovation during the Victorian era.
