シェプトンマレットでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A few of the signs for the footpath have fallen down so use an ordnance map as backup

Take the route that goes over the top of the viaduct much easier.

With 27 arches, the Charlton Viaduct is an immensely impressive structure. It was built in the 19th century to carry the Somerset and Devon Joint Railway, initially a single track and later widened to carry two. A Grade-II listed building, it's easily seen from the numerous footpaths that run around it, including the Mendip Way long-distance trail.

Part of the defunct Somerset and Dorset Railway, this viaduct looms out of the trees in pretty Ham Woods. There are a further two viaducts between here and where the line leaves Shepton Mallet, each as impressive as the last. The line opened in the 1870s and was active for nearly a hundred years.

Great fish and chips for hungry cyclists.

A nice route to take from the Rapha Archive Store. Be prepared to carry your bike over a few stiles
