Nice village shop & post-office, but check opening hours before routing! https://spaxtonstores.co.uk/

Great environment, good food and broad selection available - highly recommend

If I had not stopped for the cattle grid I think I would have managed this climb but it was hard to get moving once I had stopped. Next time I'll cycle across the grid which turned out to be full of dirt and therefore ok to cycle across.

Nice road onto the Quantock Hills from Over Stowey in the east towards Crowcombe gate and the car park on the top of the Quantocks. It's quite a tough climb but the views are great.

Lovely pub, good food and very friendly

As you meander about Somerset's pretty, rural countryside you probably don't expect to come across a Romanesque temple sitting in a field. The Temple of Harmony however, is just such a sight. The temple is actually a folly, built in the 18th century as part of the Halswell Estate. You can visit the temple on summer Sunday afternoons but even if you hike past on a different day, it's a magnificent vision.

Named for the Danish settler who arrived in the 9th century, Spaxton is a charming Quantocks villages. A historic water pump, old cottages and a gorgeous Georgian manor all make this village rather easy on the eye. Several footpaths pass through the settlement, including the Quantock Greenway. If you're looking for a pub lunch, head to the Lamb Inn at Four Forks, a hamlet just to the east.

The termination of the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal, Bridgwater Docks is a floating harbour. In its heyday in the 1800s, it saw thousands of vessels a year. The construction had been done under a mortgage and the company, unable to keep up with payments, sold the canal and docks to a railway company instead. The docks were last used for commercial activity in 1971 and are now operated by council. It’s a pretty area to walk around and you’ll see plenty of narrowboats in the marina.
