블래그돈 호수 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

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

This really is such a stunning area of woodland, and it is truly worth a visit. Personally (just my preference), I would avoid summer at all costs! The pub is heaving, there (can be) fights over the car park 😳🙈... Plus, it is surprisingly hilly! Although the hills do reward you with gorgeous views, it's something to bear in mind with hot weather. Plus, I just think woodland has such a stunning atmosphere in Autumn 🍂. Whenever you choose to go, I am sure you'll love it. Some of the paths are quite rocky & steep, so just another thing to bear in mind - but certainly don't be put off!

Black Down is the highest hill in the Mendips with Beacon Batch the highest spot point at 1,066 feet (325 m). There are a good set of bridleways in the area, many with gravelly surfaces suitable for gravel or touring bikes. The summit ridge path is particularly good, with amazing views of the Mendips and north towards Bristol.

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.

Prepare yourself for the coming hill or take a different direction 😁🥵🚵

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

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.
