Jim Dyer Memorial on the Gordano Round

Highlight • Monument

Jim Dyer was the creator of the Gordano Round, a 43 mile walk that stretches from Portishead down to Clevedon, then through the woods to Clapton in Gordano, over to Abbots Leigh then back to Portishead.

It is a well loved route with a huge variety of scenery, stretching from a coastal path, through woodlands, over fields and across vistas, whilst also being well maintained and marked.

The tribute sites on the coastal part of the route, with a view out over the Severn.

Layde Bay

Highlight • Beach

The small cove at Layde Bay is one of the prettiest beaches along the Somerset coast. A small stretch of sand between the rocks and backing onto the densely vegetated cliffs.

This is a pleasant beach to soak up the sun but swimming is not generally advised as with many of the beaches along the Bristol Channel coast. There can be strong currents as the tide moves and the sand towards the low water mark is decidedly muddy.
That said Ladye Bay is home to the annual “Long Swim” which covers about a mile down to Clevedon Pier.

Layde Bay is also a popular climbing spot with a variety of climbs.

Rocky Descent from Cadbury Camp

Highlight • Viewpoint

Really rough descent, doable without suspension but you’ll have pumped forearms when you get to the bottom

Cadbury Camp Lane West

Highlight • Trail

Wonderfully fast lane into Cadbury Camp West from the East with rocky top and bedrock descent ending in fast road descent with suprise double speed bump.
Lots of fun on a gravel bike or mtb
