Lane Into Shepton Mallet

Highlight • Trail

A little lane that drops you right down into the town- handy if you want to visit the Rapha store and cafe :)

Hardpack single track that joins you back on to the road.

Tip by

A great alternative to the road this wide gravel road is beautiful and takes you alongside the lake- further, along the trail, there is a safe railway crossing then the path narrows but is still rideable.
