The lower and upper Litton reservoirs were built in the 1850 s by the Bristol Waterworks Company. Today it's a peaceful place for a walk. Watch out for the wide variety of insects and birds who live here.

Internationally famous as a haven for birdwatchers in particular, Somerset Wildlife Trust’s main site on the Peat Moors covers more than 100 hectares. Restored peat diggings, three miles north-west of Glastonbury have been transformed into a network of open water, reed bed and the largest surviving fragment of lowland acid mire in the South-West. Designated as a National Nature Reserve, Westhay Moor was a pioneering project by Somerset Wildlife Trust, in the early 1980s. Since the site’s restoration it has become recognised as one of the top bird watching locations in Britain and often features in documentaries, including the BBC’s Springwatch and Autumnwatch series. Westhay's biggest attractions for birdwatchers arrive in autumn and stay through to January/ February -several million starlings fill the sky as they arrive to roost among the reeds each afternoon.

Great hard climb too with the classic Mendips drag at the end. Doesn't get as steep as Blagdon and much quieter than Burrington

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.

Great spot for a rest and a cuppa!

Ideal spot for a cuppa!

Awesome descent which is really open. Although because it is so open you may have the tendency to go into the corners to fast. Be careful in the wet.
