Lovelt dappled woodland through the Abbots pool bridleway. A great link up from the orchard trail and weir lane bridleway from Sandy lane

Prepare yourself for the coming hill or take a different direction 😁🥵🚵

Lovely stretch of bridle way through a small woods and past Abbots Pond. Rough rocky section at the northern end as the path merges onto Sandy Lane (alternative flat footpath through gate to the left). Can get muddy too!

I found the route along the water to be the most beautiful. The lap went well. For the most part the path is on roads/footpaths and there are a few meters up and down, but everything is doable. There is also a route that leads along the water to the right of the pier, but I haven't tried it.

A nice place to stop for a breather and a snack to prepare for the climb you're likely about to do... whichever way you go.

Clevedon Marine Lake is an unusual swimming pool on the Somerset coast. Every spring tide, the pool fills with seawater from the Bristol Channel. You swim alongside open views across the channel – a unique experience! The lake is open 24/7 and is managed by a community group. They rely on donations so don't forget to put a few coins in the white boxes by the lake or donate online. The lake is open to swimmers, SUPs and canoers. You can bring along your inflatables too.

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.

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.
