We found it to be the best route to the Gorge, longer but flatter overall !

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.

Added a few pics of a sunrise caught in june. was on way to the gorge and had to stop and take these.

The Swan Inn is a Butcombe Brewery pub in the Mendip Hills AONB. It's a 17th century listed building serving good food and drinks. They also have rooms if you want to stay for longer. The Swan is on the Butcombe Trail, a 47 mile (75 km) circular pub crawl around the Mendip Hills.

The maze of footpaths across Burrington Ham are great to explore. The mix of short limestone grassland, scrub and Bracon create an interesting habitat rich in birds, animals and plants.

Awesome riding on the trails and natural stuff.

Well worth a stop for the bacon butty!
