awesome hidden pump track is really worth the journey guys

Gravel track along the former route of the Somerset Central Railway. Ham Wall is an RSPB managed wetland and a brilliant place to stop and immerse yourself in a landscape teeming with wildlife.

Lovely little cafe at the Avalon marshes centre.

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.

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.

A protected conservation site for wildlife managed by Bristol Water. Dating from the 1930s, Cheddar Reservoir has a capacity of 135 million gallons. The reservoir is supplied with water taken from the Cheddar Yeo river in Cheddar Gorge. It Panoramic views of the Somerset levels and Mendip Hills. Wildlife consists of Swans and various wildfowl, also visiting cormorants out for a spot of fishing. Very accessible walking route right around the edge of the lake.

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.

the yellow plant is Floating Yellow Heart (I think)
