Old Bristol Hill Climb

Highlight • Climb

One of the best climbs in the South West. Good road surface, nice rhythm to the gradients, one of the longest about and very quiet on traffic. Gorgeous rolling roads at the top also. Save your energy for the final stretch as it's the steepest part.

Top of the Mendips

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Once out of the gorge there are some lovely views and choices to make on your preferred route onward. Left toward the north on the cycle route or turn right and drop down toward Wells.

Cheddar Gorge

Cheddar Gorge Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Totally achievable iconic climb. The whole thing is about 10km but it’s only steep for the first 1.5km or so. There is one really nasty steep hairpin but once you’re past that you’ve nailed it! I’d rather ride up than down. Very busy on summer weekends with cyclists, motorcycles and cars (plus tourist busses) so pick your time wisely. Cars can get aggravated and impatient and it’s difficult to pass.
