Joined from the Frome end via Elliots Lane. Cuts out the road section up the hill from Hapsford to Great Elm. Wonderfully surfaced. Suitable for any bike, walker, wheeled chair.

In the valley below Great Elm, a charming bridge crosses the Mells River, with a bench on the riverbank offering a peaceful spot to enjoy the views or take a refreshing dip. A layby on one side of the river provides convenient parking if you'd like to start your journey here.

The tunnel lights were designed so you can see while not disturbing the bats. People using bright lights risk disturbing the bats and blinding other users. While you may feel using lights improves your ability to see and be seen they distract other users making it more difficult to see walkers, dogs etc.

Two great cafes in the village, all very picturesque

The tunnel lighting was upgraded in late 2023 and you can now easily see other riders, runners or pedestrians, so you do NOT need dazzling front lights any more. In the interests of safety and to avoid accidents PLEASE dim or dip your light when in the tunnel!
