Broadmead Shopping District to Cheddar Gorge

30 mi · 1h 10m — by Luke Newell

This route replaces the mundane A38 with a sequence of technical climbs and scenic descents. Highlights include the technical ascent of Dundry Hill for views over Bristol, the picturesque transit through Chew Valley, and the dual-gorge experience: climbing through Burrington Combe before descending the famous hairpins of Cheddar Gorge. Watch for cyclists and sheep on the Mendip plateau.
