チルコンプトンのおすすめツーリングルート

東から西へはほとんど下り坂で、Great Elmの後は短い登りがあるだけです。静かな時間を選べば飛ぶように進めますが、家族連れが道幅いっぱいに広がり、簡単に追い越せないことに注意してください。ベルを持参しましょう。

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.

Two great cafes in the village, all very picturesque

Quiet little stretch - lovely addition to any ride.

Apparently it's impossible to lift your bike over a gate.

There’s a kissing gate on the left but it’s so far in the bushes there’s no chance to get a bike in and out, don’t go all the way down the lane to find out you can’t get out like we did!!

The last of the pits in the North Somerset Coalfield closed in 1973. The former Kilmersdon Pit Wheel is a memorial to the miners who worked them.

Absolutely lovely, relatively flat throughout and is generally pretty quiet. Some areas have a few bumps thanks to roots and some parts during the wetter winter weather get a couple of centimetres of running water here and there. Overall one of my favourite places to cycle and will continue to feature on my routes!
