Lovely architecture around the church

Hollow Lane is a great example of a Hollow Way, a sunken lane typical of this area of the country. These ancient lanes are cut into the landscape but we're not entirely sure why. It could be simply due to erosion by booth people and animals over 100s of years, exacerbated by water run off. They may also have been cut initially to make animal heading easier and to provide protection from the weather. What ever the cause they make for very atmospheric riding!

Montacute house driveway, gates locked and small Ham Stonewall at the end.

The Anglican Church of St Catherine at Montacute within the English county of Somerset was first built in the 12th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.

HISTORY The Tower dates from the 13th century. The embattled top and cornice were added in the 15th century. The Porch and room above were added about 1325. It will be noticed that it is not bonded in to the wall of the Tower. The room above, sometimes call a Parvise, may have been used for school purposes, or as a place from which the priest or other person could watch the church. The main doors were probably replaced in the mid 1800s and are reputed to have come from Ilchester Jail when it closed. The Chancel The east window (containing some mediaeval glass) and wall are 15th century. There is no physical evidence of an apse. The other windows on the north and south date from about 1250. Those on the north may have been altered in the 15th century. The altar is Jacobean and the altar rails date from Charles I. Fine specimens of 12th century corbel tables are to be seen on the north and south walls. Note the scratch dial on the south side. The Nave The fine Norman Chancel Arch is thought to have been rebuilt. It was restored in 1862. The Wall Paintings on the wall above the chancel arch are 14th or 15th century; those on the north and south walls are 17th century. In the north wall is a fine recumbent effigy of Thomas Strode who died in 1595. The Recesses in the north and south walls are probably the one an Easter Sepulchre, and the other an Aumbry. The double Piscina in the south east angle dates from around 1300. The Font is late 12th or early 13th century and was originally centrally in the nave. It was moved in 1916. The North Transept was added about 1190. It has a typical ribbed vault with rich stiff leaf corbels of the finest Transitional style, a style between Norman and Early English, which is rare in Somerset. The north window dates from about 1430. The 15th century stone Screen at the entrance was probably brought with the stone altar from the Chapel of St Nicholas in the Castle at West Stoke. The South Transept was added about 1300. Church Lane, Stoke sub Hamdon, Somerset. TA14 6UF

Good pub. Great food and beer.

nice bridleway section in dry weather

Ham Hill is a magnificent country park with panoramic views over the South Somerset Moors, Exmoor and the Mendip Hills from the top. During the Iron Age, a huge hill fort would have stood here which would have been one of the largest in the south west. Today, there's a number of hiking trails and bike routes through the park.

This is an amazing climb along a lane that carves between Hamdon and Butcher's Hill. You ride between thick woodland that makes you feel like you are entering another world. The climb is steady and not too hard on the legs.

Owned and managed by the National Trust, Stoke-sub-Hamdon’s priory is a phenomenal group of 14th and 15th-century buildings, largely made from the local hamstone. Grade I listed and a scheduled ancient monument, the priory and its buildings have an old kind of grandeur to them. Despite its name, there isn’t and has never been a priory here. The site was built as a chantry college and was subsequently tenanted after the Dissolution. It’s a fascinating place to wander around and is a particularly good example of hamstone construction.

This hamlet is gloriously picturesque and many of its buildings are made from local hamstone. This type of stone is unique to nearby Ham Hill and has a yellow hue; it lends the buildings a particularly pretty aesthetic. Norton-sub-Hamdon is home to a manor house of 17th-century origins and a water mill dating back from around the same time. In the grounds of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, there’s a 17th-century stone dovecote. Although you can’t go inside, it contains 400 stone nests and is said to have provided pigeons for the manor. There’s an old pub here if you’re looking for somewhere to put your feet up, otherwise, simply walking around the hamlet is like stepping back in time.

Excellent food and RCC Partner Cafe

Great atmospheric climb, nice and steady from memory…

Perfect mid-ride coffee, cake and lunch stop whether you're riding a long one or short one. Lovely staff, great outdoor seating area and atmosphere. Recommended 100 %

Lots of very good bike racks outside. You can borrow a lock even! Excellent cake and brunch menu. Well worth planning your route around a stop here.

Been here a few times now, lovely spot. Secure bike parking with locks, lovely food

Excellent little cafe set in a vintage railway carriage. Right next door to an equally excellent farm shop.

A brilliant little farm shop with an impressive array of baked goods. Excellent vegan and gluten free fresh produce! The shop is deceptively big and contains an impressive selection of local and artisan foods.
