Route information
All 3 of these routes will involve some serious climbs and descents, with some chunky elevation! The routes will follow the West Mendip Way, through the forests of Rowebarrow Warren but the star of this route is the climb up the highest hill in the Mendips, to Black Down heathland.
There'll be plenty of views of the Somerset landscape throughout these rotes, including some celebrated wildlife such as the herds of feral goats, Soay sheep and Peregrine falcons.
Those taking on the Long Route will be treated to truly awesome views from the top of Cheddar Gorge where you might even be able to spot the Seven Bridge and Glastonbury.
