쉬운 라켄포드 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

After the track along Hawkridge Ridge, the route starts to descent over the bedrock through a broadleaf woodland. This turns into a dirt single track, and ends up on the valley floor, following the stream to Castle Bridge, and the climb up out of the valley. I was riding my rigid steel 29er, so picking my way, but it would be a flyer with suspension.

Hard work on a rigid 29er, muddy in parts, with a deceptively deep and rocky ford. Note to self:The footbridge is there for a reason, you last did this sort of thing 35 years ago 🤔. It's a steep and twisty climb out after the bridge, up to the road.

Dog and muddy boot friendly pub. Good food.

This beautiful landscape is shared with cattle and calves, sheep, and lambs every summer, whilst the year-round inhabitants include the unique Exmoor pony, the large red deer, the brown hare, buzzards and kestrels This country is for those who love walking, riding, cycling amongst hills and visiting tiny villages, churches, and the breath-taking cliffs along one of the most striking coasts in the U.K

Wonderful stop for baked goods, loaded sandwiches and a coffee.
