Excellent food and good value prices. Buddah bowls, jacket potatoes, good coffee, interesting fruit infusions.

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.

Prepare yourself for the coming hill or take a different direction 😁🥵🚵

The Ring O' Bells in Compton Martin is a 16th century traditional village pub. They serve great food, drinks and snacks and are very happy to greet muddy runners. The Ring O' Bells is on the Butcombe Trail, a 47 mile (75 km) circular pub crawl around the Mendip Hills.

Blagdon Lake was created by damming the River Yeo in 1898. The project was completed in 1905 and provides drinking water for Bristol and the local area. The lake is also an important wildlife habitat, with lots of different bird and insect species living here.

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.
