Stoney Littleton Long Barrow is a neolithic chambered tomb located in Somerset that dates back to around 3500 BCE. It is thought to be one of the best preserved examples of its kind in the country! Transport yourself to the past and discover its chambered interior, intricate carvings and ancient artefacts.

This neolithic long barrow is aligned to midwinter sunrise. For several days either side of solstice you can watch the rising sun shining down the central chamber.

Late spring brings extraordinary bluebell displays in this vibrant nature reserve whilst the waterfall delights hikers throughout the year. Goldilocks buttercups, anenomes and butterbur are all found here along with butterflies such as red admiral, painted lady and brimstone.

The biggest ancient semi-natural woodland in the Mendips, Asham Wood is an absolute pleasure to stroll around. Diverse in plants and wildlife, this forest comes alive in spring and summer.

A small footbridge and weir narrows the Chew and creates a natural pool next to a field. There is a footpath going through the field, the bridleway goes up the stream parallel to the field. You'll have to carry your bike over a kissing gate. There are occasionally livestock grazing in the field. The spot is popular with local families playing cricket and having a picnic making a day of this beautiful place.

This is an easy spot to get to with great views of the surrounding landscape. From here there are great views south down to Englishcombe, west to Bristol and north-east to Bath city centre
