ストーガンバーのおすすめランニングルート

A nice refreshing stream to stumble upon on your run around the Quantocks.

The Great Road in Somerset is a wonderful old road spanning 4.6km through the north-east of the beautiful Quantock Hills. The road provides a fairly steep and continuous climb or ascent (depending on which way you're travelling) fit with incredible views over the surrounding countryside. Sections of the route can get a little rocky underfoot, so watch your step.

Bicknoller Post offers the runner a perfect resting spot high up in the Quantocks where you can enjoy uninterrupted views across the Bristol Channel and toward South Wales.

Fantastic View and either a easy climb out or fast descent into the combe

Watchet is also one of the stations on the West Somerset Heritage railway. Watch the steam trains or take in the town on your way past.

Look for a rotten tree trunk along path with lots of holes

St Decuman's church sits up on the hill behind the coastal town of Watchet. Decuman was a pastor and doctor who came to the town from Wales in the late 7th century. The story goes that Decuman was beheaded by a pagan but survived by picked up his own head, washing it in the neighbouring well, and putting it back on again. As it were. Heads aside, the church is a peaceful place with many interesting features and a well-kept churchyard.

Watchet has had an active harbour since at least the Iron Age and was an important trading port during the Saxon era. Later, minerals were traded via here but today the harbour is mostly used as a marina rather than a working harbour. A wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by, the harbour is one of the main draws of this friendly town. Nearby is Watchet station, so keep an ear out for steam trains!
