シップハムのおすすめツーリングルート

休憩（と足を冷やす？）に良い場所

Great view and well worth the slightly steep muddy ascent.

Excellent ride - I have an automatic which is very helpful … can get very busy. Fantastic cafe at start/finish!

This is a really enjoyable ride but the bike gates are a pain with straight handlebars.

This really is such a stunning area of woodland, and it is truly worth a visit. Personally (just my preference), I would avoid summer at all costs! The pub is heaving, there (can be) fights over the car park 😳🙈... Plus, it is surprisingly hilly! Although the hills do reward you with gorgeous views, it's something to bear in mind with hot weather. Plus, I just think woodland has such a stunning atmosphere in Autumn 🍂. Whenever you choose to go, I am sure you'll love it. Some of the paths are quite rocky & steep, so just another thing to bear in mind - but certainly don't be put off!

Black Down is the highest hill in the Mendips with Beacon Batch the highest spot point at 1,066 feet (325 m). There are a good set of bridleways in the area, many with gravelly surfaces suitable for gravel or touring bikes. The summit ridge path is particularly good, with amazing views of the Mendips and north towards Bristol.
