周辺のスポット/アトラクション・トップ20

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.

Good choices, wonderfully clean toilets. Nice map on the toilet wall showing what will happen to the area if/when the ice caps all melt! Gulp.

Run by Vicky & Rob Sweet - local riders know the spot and Saturday mornings see many club groups arrive. Tor 2000 run a 'Youth Ride' from Sweets at 10am on Saturdays.

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.

Rising above the village of Burrowbridge, this wonderfully named hill is a scheduled monument and is home to a Grade I listed ruined church on its summit. At 79 feet (24 m) high, it stands out from the flat land around and can be seen easily from the River Parrett Trail which passes by. Thanks to the Somerset Levels winter floods, Burrow Mump becomes somewhat of an island, like its cousin, Glastonbury Tor. A Norman motte and bailey castle was originally constructed here, but the only structure that remains is the impressive medieval church.

Nice place.. delicious coffee and pies.. 😊

the yellow plant is Floating Yellow Heart (I think)

Lovely single track trail that short cuts through between Glastonbury and Avalon Marshes. Part of cycle route 3 but a shared path so keep an eye out for walkers. There’s a memorial garden to a teenage girl at one end which always breaks my heart. It’s a nice place to stop as there are picnic tables and bike stands but I always feel so sad for the family.

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.

Told you it was a Mecca! :-)

Cycling Mecca. Rachel and the staff are great. So accommodating to cyclists. A regular stop.

Shapwick Heath nature reserve, gets pretty busy with walkers and bird watchers. Excellent compacted gravel surface with just a few puddles, and plenty of places to sit on a bench and watch the aerial display.

Coffee refills are great value.

Great cafe on the levels, usually almost all cyclists

Top cyclist cafe. Good menu from cakes to full meals. Very friendly staff and good place to catch up with other cyclists 😊

Not open Monday or Tuesday. Coffee refills £1
