버트콤베 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

lots of disruption of path due to works at the mo. diversion in place

Interesting area and very very low traffic

We found it to be the best route to the Gorge, longer but flatter overall !

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

Lovely open area of nature reserve, great for exploring

The road leading out of the small village of Butcombe offers a visually appealing cycling route, framed by Blagdon and the stunning Mendips in the distance.

Lovely looped trail. the landscape is lumped and bumped in the most weirdest of ways. I realised that the mounds were actually man made from the mining days, and grass and nature had covered them all over. Sheep graze freely in the area.

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.
