콤프턴 마틴 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

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.

A super cool train sculpture that is on The Strawberry Line, which is a super cool cycleway in itself.

Excellent ride - I have an automatic which is very helpful … can get very busy. Fantastic cafe at start/finish!

lovely gravel link, a few washed out rocky sections but mostly smooth

This is a really enjoyable ride but the bike gates are a pain with straight handlebars.

Some parts are a bit bumpy but most of it is quite good make

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.

Nice traffic free route with lots of places to stop for refreshments along the way. Recommend the bakery at Winscombe. Sadly, the numerous bike gates along the route are a pain if you're on a mountain/hybrid bike as they are too narrow.

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

It just keeps going. Sharp almost immediately and even before the main road, this winds its way up through the trees and has more to throw at you after that. I reckon this is on par with Blagdon for difficulty but the surface is less reliable. Of course it's called the Wrangle

Awesome riding on the trails and natural stuff.

Traffic free gravel route.

A great cycle path

Small cafe the almshouse on the corner is good and the lamb pub across the road looks popular both have seating outside or in

I understand now the tunnel is lit.

Great place for anyone who enjoys mountain biking. Novices are best sticking to the bridleways, as the trails are great but get very muddy with even the tiniest bit of rain. There is so much to take in, you can ride out to the trig point on Blackdown and then enjoy a whizz down Burrington Combe. It's always popular with walkers, dog walkers, other cyclists and horse riders, so keep an eye out, respect each other and say hello. There is sometimes a pheasant shoot, but this is always well-signposted and there are lots of friendly stewards to make sure you are safe.

At 325m high this is the highest point in the Mendips. It's a great summit with an ancient tumuli and trig point at the top. The ridge line trail stretching to the west from the summit offers wonderful fast running with awesome views in all directions. You can link the summit on a run from Cheddar, Burrington Combe or one of the local towns or villages.
