Nice cafe to the side!!

Bampton is a great stop for cyclists, offering a peaceful break with picturesque streets and a friendly atmosphere. Take a moment to explore the charming village, grab a coffee, and enjoy the scenic views before continuing your ride.

Good food and amazing service. Happy to fill water bottles.

Most of the pictures here do NOT show the Gorge!!!! The entrance to it is clearly signposted and is exactly where you can see the water fountain. You pay 10 pounds entry per person, are greeted in a friendly manner and are given historical and technical background information about the exhibition. After visiting it, we continue along the river on steep paths to various waterfalls. This is very nice, especially if you're just passing through Lynmouth and only have time for a mini hike but still want to experience something. Or if you really want to get to know the place and are interested in technology and/or history. There are plenty of benches and picnic options, and the large parking lot with restrooms is just a few minutes from the entrance. Cafes and pubs are plentiful in Lynmouth.

Top 100 Climbs 6 Exmoor Forest The town of Lynmouth lies at the base of three stiff climbs - the very tough Countisbury Hill, the shorter and steeper Lynton Hill, and finally the long road heading up onto Exmoor. It;s this route from sea level to the top of Hoar Tor that provides the most climbing. A tiny kick out of town soon eases into a steady gradient as the road follows the river through the valley. Past a car park, you reach the left turn for the B3223 and cross the bridge onto the harder inclines. You wouldn't expect to reach the top of Exmoor without some serious toil and this middle stretch gives you just that. Keep pushing and you'll reach a couple of hairpin bends - first left, then back on yourself, then right - which deliver you onto the gentler higher slopes. Now above the trees, the well surfaced but rough - topped road, populated by sheep, grinds on and on, finally petering out just before Blackpitts Gate.

Top 100 climbs 5 Dunkery Beacon This corner of Exmoor is hill-climbing heaven, with a pleathora of nasty roads to grind up and fly down. It's a job to single out one climb that sets itself apart from all the others, but the road heading away from Luccombe up to the Beacon is a beast. Leave the crossroads and head into thick forest. Ramping up straight away at 17% and winding across a steep cattle grid, the road heads upwards under the trees. With the opening stretch over, your legs will already be burning by the time the gradient affords you a brief rest. And then it climbs again - if you thought the first part was a trial, think again. A perfect stretch of unrelenting 17% gradient cuts its way through the gorse, turning left then right, steeper at each turn, before delivering you to the finale. Ahead, the road winds like a streamer dropped from a tall building, kinking left and right, left and right, steep all the way. You'll finish, consumed by fatigue, adjacent to a small stone car park.

this hill goes on and on and on

The railway makes a fun challenge ride. Friends or family members can ride the train and you can race on the bike there and back with café stop in the middle.

Minehead station is the northern terminus of the West Somerset heritage railway. The railway runs from here south along the coast to Watchet and then south down the edge of the Quantock Hills to Bishops Lydeard near Taunton. There are regular steam and heritage diesel trains running throughout the year but check the website for timings. west-somerset-railway.co.uk

Pace yourself! It is a very long & steep hill with a max gradient of 14%. Stop for a breather on the flats if needs be :)

Sometimes it's the smallest things that restore one's faith in humanity. Cyclist's Rest is a small picnic area in a private field that is complete with bench and table and furnished with some of the finest views in Devon. All accessed via a hole in a beach hedge – blink and you'll miss it!
