ロクストンでののおすすめランニングルート

High elevation Hill mixed terrain of mud stones, an enjoyable scramble at times.

Sticking out from the end from the ridge of rock that runs from the Mendips Crook Peak offers views over from Exmoor too Wales. A particularly great ride from Wavering down back along the ridge.

Oh it's constant... it just feels like it won't stop. Good footwear essential. avoid the black looking rocks. they are shiny and slippy by years of being stepped on. stick to the dirt.

This section of the trail from Black Rock Gate up to the southern ridge of Cheddar Gorge is steep and rocky. Very hard work to actually run up, but a good place to practice power walking up. In descent, you need grippy and cushioned shoes that you trust. Lots of fun but a bit scary in the wet.

A friendly 16th century country pub. Run by Butcombe Brewery, the beer is excellent and they also serve great food. The Queens Arms is on the Butcombe Trail, a 47 mile (75 km) circular pub crawl around the Mendip Hills.

Bleadon Hill at 143 m is a high point towards the western edge of the Mendip Hills. The road crosses the summit, but there is a nice viewpoint and parking area.

Excellent summit, run from either the car park below or over the ridge from Weavering Down. The top is rocky with great views over towards the Mendips, out to Weston Super Mare and the sea and down the M5.

Wavering Down at 211 m has a trig point and epic views of the Mendip Hills. The ridge between Crook Peak and the top of Winscombe Hill is a brilliant run in either direction.

Black Down is the highest area in the Mendips, the summit Beacon Batch stands at 325m offering great views north towards Bristol and south over Cheddar and the Mendips. The running is good with lots of ascent for the south and brilliant moorland trails. It can get a bit boggy around the edges in the winter but generally it drains well, and you can run here all year. The best routes are from Burrington Combe in the north or Cheddar in the south but there are loads of options.

highest area in the mendips! good hill training

Fantastic 360 degree views - around 20-30 mins to get to the top

Painful but fun. Good views.

211m high. More epic views of the mendips

186m high with wide views across the mendips

You’ll need to haul your bike thru some kissing gates but avoids the main road into WSM

A rather lung busting effort to get up here but the rewards are enormous, the view over Burnham on Sea and Brent Knoll are awesome, well worth a trip.

This might not be so nice, depending on how confident/sure-footed you are, how much it’s rained, or whether you’re going down rather than up!

Managed by Avon Wildlife Trust - Purn Hill is part of the western Mendip Hills, and has panoramic views across the Somerset Levels to the Blackdowns and Quantocks. Purn Hill is home to three plants that are nationally rare or threatened. These are honewort, Somerset hair-grass and white rock rose, which is only found at two sites in the UK - Brean Down being the other one. Ladies bedstraw, dropwort, pale flax, yellow-wort and carline thistle are also found here. Purn Hill is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and much of the grassland on its slopes is of national importance, found only on a few other sites on the south facing slopes of the Mendip Hills

Crook Peak and the surrounding area is a geological and biological Site of Special Scientific Interest near the western end of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Somerset. As part of the nature reserve management there are wild ponies and sheep grazing to protect the rare plants and flowers that the grassland supports. It is important to keep your dog under close control and on a lead at all times on Wavering Down and Crook Peak. The summit of Crook Peak is a tilting series of miniature limestone escarpments forms the distinctive crag at the top of the hill, which dominates the stretch of the M5 seen below. Most of the site is owned by the National Trust who bought 725 acres (293 ha) in 1985, and much of it has been designated as common land. It was notified as an SSSI by Natural England in 1952. The ecology of the area includes ancient woodland and calcareous grassland which supports nationally rare species including the Cheddar pink. The underlying rocks are Carboniferous Limestone containing phreatic caves at Shute Shelve Cavern and Picken's Hole from which fossils dating from the Middle Devensian have been recovered.

Part of a Special Site of Scientific Interest, Crook Peak is a hill in the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Open common with a rocky terrain, the summit offers fantastic views in every direction. Look south across the River Axe and the Somerset Levels, west to the Bristol Channel, east to the bulk of the AONB and north to over patchwork land to Bristol.
