Cycling in Somerset
Its rolling hills and flat plains make Somerset a popular destination for cyclists whether they are mountain bikers or more relaxed riders.
As a sizeable county with a distinctly rural character, it offers the chance to get off the well-ridden track and discover some of Somerset’s secrets.
You can pedal along disused railway lines, through nature reserves, on sandy beaches and to the top of spell-binding viewpoints.
There are family routes, circular routes, off road routes and mountain bike routes.
There are gentle meanders on the wide open wetlands of the Somerset Levels and there are challenging climbs in the Blackdown, Mendip and Quantock Hills – all Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
