This beautiful spot is perfect for a a break. Find about 330 feet (100 metres) of flower-lined water on the River Brue, ending with a weir and a bridge. The village church is nearby, so be respectful.

A beautiful old bridge and church next to the river. Beautiful to ride past or head off on the path opposite the church and there are lots of points where you can dip into the river for a swim! There is a weird further downstream so the river here is nice and deep.
