The food here is amazing, but be aware that the only way out is uphill - so don't abuse it.

Not as smooth as you might think. Over the last year the road has had major flooding and not much maintenance. That being said its a road like no other. 2.2 miles in length.

Lovely pub! Good place to stop for a quick drink

Two great cafes in the village, all very picturesque

THE BEAUTIFULLY SCULPTED GARDENS OF the Chalice Well surround Glastonbury’s most famous natural water source, the Red Spring, so called for the iron oxide it deposits in its basin. But just opposite this famous site, down a little lane at the foot of Glastonbury Tor, lies its counterpart: the White Spring.

Just over half way up the gradient eases for a short distance. In the days of old, horses pulling a cart would be sent into a gallop to gain momentum for the steep section ahead. You are unlikely to see that nowadays but it is still known as "galloping plain" locally.

Mells walled garden is lovely, but the Talbot Inn is also good!

The descent of Cheddar Gorge is one of the easiest bits of any ride, but is just reward for making it up there in the first place.

You can spot Glastonbury Tor from miles around as you ride along the flat lanes in the Somerset Levels. Perched atop a hill, it's a definitive landmark of the area. It's considered to be one of the most spiritual sites in the country, especially among pagans.

Not as hard or as busy as I thought it would be... and I went on a sunny Saturday in May! The bottom is tourist heaven or hell depending on your point of view, it gets quieter when you get to the serious stuff in the middle and the top shallower section (which is lovely) is very tranquil in comparison. There's only one steep and fairly sort section... 20% max, the rest is around 10% and the top only around 5%... it's a joy... go on you'll love it!

old hunting ground...no matter how fit I was, it was always testing at the top when hitting 25%; last two ramps mean grinding it out no matter how many gears but a long recovery stretch when you hit the top to regain energy!

Unfortunately this road is now parked up with vans and caravans - take care and watch out for pedestrians.
