メンディップでののおすすめランニングルート

Great loop walk

A great drive through the Gorge, then park in one of the layby's and hike up either side of the Gorge to the top (pretty steep), where you get great views of Cheddar and the surrounding areas. Cheddar itself has a slightly Alpine Village feel to it.

In the valley below Great Elm, a charming bridge crosses the Mells River, with a bench on the riverbank offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the views or take a refreshing dip. A layby on one side of the river provides convenient parking if you'd like to start your journey here.

Great location, beautiful views and beautiful nature!

Proper footwear and even poles are recommended. Bring waterproofs as back up shelter, as there are not many places out of the gorge to shelter. Download the route to device also, there is no phone coverage the further in to the gorge you go.

It says easy everywhere but make no mistake. A reasonable condition is necessary and certainly good shoes, especially in wet weather.

The running is good with lots of ascent for the south and brilliant moorland trails. It can get a bit boggy around the edges in the winter but generally it drains well, and you can run here all year.
