버링턴 최고의 러닝 경로

Black Down is the highest hill in the Mendips with Beacon Batch the highest spot point at 1,066 feet (325 m). There are a good set of bridleways in the area, many with gravelly surfaces suitable for gravel or touring bikes. The summit ridge path is particularly good, with amazing views of the Mendips and north towards Bristol.

Awesome riding on the trails and natural stuff.

Great place for anyone who enjoys mountain biking. Novices are best sticking to the bridleways, as the trails are great but get very muddy with even the tiniest bit of rain. There is so much to take in, you can ride out to the trig point on Blackdown and then enjoy a whizz down Burrington Combe. It's always popular with walkers, dog walkers, other cyclists and horse riders, so keep an eye out, respect each other and say hello. There is sometimes a pheasant shoot, but this is always well-signposted and there are lots of friendly stewards to make sure you are safe.

Dolebury Warren is the site of an Iron Age hill fort and was also occupied during the Roman period. Today the site still has many earthworks to explore and bands of rock which may have been the foundations of walls. As a runner the ridgeline is fun to run with a not too steep ascent and fun descent whichever way you run it. The Limestone Link trail goes along the summit and it makes a good addition to a Beacon Batch loop from Burrington Combe.

Black Down is the highest area in the Mendips, the summit Beacon Batch stands at 325m offering great views north towards Bristol and south over Cheddar and the Mendips. The running is good with lots of ascent for the south and brilliant moorland trails. It can get a bit boggy around the edges in the winter but generally it drains well, and you can run here all year. The best routes are from Burrington Combe in the north or Cheddar in the south but there are loads of options.

At 325m high this is the highest point in the Mendips. It's a great summit with an ancient tumuli and trig point at the top. The ridge line trail stretching to the west from the summit offers wonderful fast running with awesome views in all directions. You can link the summit on a run from Cheddar, Burrington Combe or one of the local towns or villages.

highest area in the mendips! good hill training
