Best time when less dog walkers.

will be muddy in winter

Great people with knowledge 💪

Use fat tyres with tread

Twisty roads through the ancient and modern peat lakes.

From this vantage point at RSPB Ham Wall, you can take in stunning views of Glastonbury Tor rising prominently in the distance. This iconic hill, visible from many locations in Somerset, provides a perfect backdrop for the surrounding landscape.

Great cafe, Good Coffee, Friendly, Indoor Outdoor Seating, also undercover seating, riverside view

Poignant picnic area, dedicated to the memory of the young Amy Thomas. From here you have a perfect view of the Tor.

Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve is a significant wetland situated just outside of Glastonbury in Somerset. There is a very diverse array of important wildlife species in this reserve, including the great white egret, a rare and majestic bird that was once extinct in the UK but has now made a comeback thanks to the reserve's conservation efforts. If you're interested in nature and wildlife, then this is an absolute must-see if visiting the Glastonbury area.

The A frames have been replaced with gates so it's much easier for bikes to enter now.

Lovely little cafe at the Avalon marshes centre.

Bell very useful here

Deep in the Somerset Levels, the wetlands at Ham Wall Nature Reserve teem with wildlife. If you're lucky you might spot rare water voles and otters, bitterns and kingfishers, and huge flocks of murmurating starlings, all with views to Glastonbury Tor.

Emergency repairs or planned servicing, coffee/tea and a gem of a garden to sit in while you wait.

There are A frame barriers at both ends of the trail over the NNR. Although these are wider than the barriers at Ham Wall they may restrict larger bikes, trailers, etc. Photos of barriers uploaded.

Trail over the Ham Wall RSPB reserve, which can be busy with walkers. Note - if you've got anything much wider than a normal road bike you may struggle to get it through the A frames at the ends of the trail. The photos I've uploaded show one of the frames, with a tourer with 42cm bars for comparison. Apparently the gate at one end (west) of the trail has a RADAR lock but not the gate at the other end. Very poor accessibility.

An excellent route with all tarmac roads (apart from one very small minor main road section), rest all small side roads with very little car traffic. A number of pubs and eating places along the way, especially Sweets Tea Rooms near Wedmore - seems a favourite for cyclists. Good route for spotting wetland wildlife - especially Egrets and Swans.

Great bike shop

Good choices, wonderfully clean toilets. Nice map on the toilet wall showing what will happen to the area if/when the ice caps all melt! Gulp.
