Westhay Moor is one of the many important wetland reserves situated nearby to Glastonbury in Somerset. The reserve hosts a diverse range of wildlife and including marsh harriers, kingfishers, and a variety of waterfowl and wading birds, as well as otters, water voles, and several species of bats. If you love nature and wildlife then this is definitely the place for you.

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.

Stunning Swiss-style chocolate box chapel on the edge of pond, built in 1888. Well worth stopping but mind the traffic - it's on a national speed limit road.

Really enjoyed this tranquil bike path. Plenty of places to stop, have a break and check out the wildlife. Everyone seemed so happy to be there; definitely a good place for a family ride.

Rickford Chapel is a 19th century "Swiss style" Grade II listed Methodist chapel built in 1888 which sits on the edge of Rickford Pond. Rickford Pond used to feed a paper mill and flour mill which were both built in the 18th century. The paper mill produced handmade paper until 1895 and the flour mill was unfortunately destroyed by fire. It's on the main road so take care if stopping.

the yellow plant is Floating Yellow Heart (I think)

A fantastic gravel trail across the Avalon marshes. Quiet in the morning but can get busy with walkers on a sunny afternoon. It’s part of national cycle route 3 so cyclists are more than entitled to use it, but bear in mind that it is a shared path and most people come here to enjoy the nature in peace. There are lots of bird watchers and if you come just before dusk you’ll see some amazing starling murmurations. Good surface of fine, hard packed gravel with a few non-threatening potholes.
