メルズのおすすめランニングルート

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。

Delightful little medieval Church (largely rebuilt in the 18th cent but the tower is original and the nave rebuilt largely in the original style)

Two great cafes in the village, all very picturesque

Ignore suggestions that you can 'open up' along this cycleway! It is well used by riders with young children, disabled people on buggies (especially towards the Radstock end), occasional horseriders as well as pedestrians with or without dogs. The southern half from Hatchet Hill to Great Elm is quieter, but watch out for encroaching stinging nettles in late summer!

Nice and convenient shop on route

Mells is a small pretty village in northeast Somerset. The streets feel old with several historically important buildings including the old church and manor house. The Talbot Inn is a great traditional country pub offering food, drinks and snacks from 11:00 - 23:00 Wed to Sun. The Walled Garden café and community plant nursery is open for cafe food and pizza from 11:00 - 16:00 Wed to Sun.

A continuation/prelude to the other highlight for Collier's Way. This is a super cycleway which is similar in nature to the cycleway between Bristol and Bath... but much quieter.

Mells walled garden is lovely, but the Talbot Inn is also good!
