These routes will take in some great views along a mixed route. There will be plenty of downhill sections to compensate for the climbs surrounding Cheddar Gorge.
Marathon & Half Marathon
These longer distances will take on the biggest and most beautiful vistas, gorges, and valleys the area has to offer. This one will be hilly, with runners having to negotiate the Hell Steps (for marathon runners, twice!), but all worth it with some excellent views.
