Really pretty little path. Only downside is how short it is.

Super quiet roads and droves round Puriton

A lovely quiet lane with great views to the Mendips and the Tor ahead.

Traffic free bike path with origami sculptures

Best cafe on the levels. Amazing choice of cakes and great cooked food. Very cycle friendly.

Built along with the Huntspill River to provide water for the nearby Ordnance Factory, now helping to drain the Somerset Levels.

good stop for tea/ coffee and cake

Lovely clean campsite with easy access off the Sustrans Route 3. No showers, but brand new flushing toilets.

basic but very clean amenities, great views and very friendly owners

One of the many drains in the Somerset Levels, King's Sedgemoor Drain was originally built in the 18th century. The Levels are a major region of seasonal flooding and the channels were constructed to aid the draining of the area, protecting the low-lying villages and farmland. As you pass this drain at Parchey Bridge, it's easy to see the perfectly straight course of the river.

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.

Gravel section of the NCN route 3 alongside the river.

Old railway line, nice little cut-through with some cool sculptures in the stream, gets you across the A39 and down into Bawdrip

Nice offroad stretch along the drain. Not one for road bikes though

A must see attraction in the middle of somewhere.

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.
