バットクームのおすすめMTBライド

Great view and well worth the slightly steep muddy ascent.

This is one seriously tough climb. Mixed surfaces (grass, rocks, gravel, mud) but nothing too tricky in dry conditions. A few very steep sections, and a couple of badly positioned gates (on the steep sections!), make this very challenging indeed. One of those climbs where the combo of gradient and terrain made it impossible to change position on the bike, hence it was a bit of a back breaker. The views to the south and west from the top are fantastic.

It wobbles at the top...... a lot

Great way to come off the Mendips. Rocky and rooty in spots but nothing difficult. Good way to go down but not sure about up.

Lovely little cafe on the roundabout. car park nearby. Friendly staff, gluten and vegan friendly menu. selection of hot and cold meals, cakes, tea and barista coffees available.

Absolutely beautiful village. Lovely in summertime, some very old and lovely buildings, the Cheddar Reservoir is only a short walk away. I actually done a video on Axbridge on my YouTube channel, noggs4vlogs. https://youtube.com/@noggs4vlogs?si=2HMVCQK9oU6s_-I_

Fantastic alternative route if you want to keep away from busy roads.

The Lamb is a traditional roadside country pub, hotel and restaurant opposite the Tudor King John's Hunting Lodge museum in Axbridge. The Lamb was built in 1480 and serves great food and drink. Owned by Butcombe Brewery, the Lamb is on the Butcombe Trail, a 47 mile (75 km) circular pub crawl around the Mendip Hills.
