Churchyard with Valley View

Highlight • Viewpoint

Walk down to the bottom for views out over the valley.

Tip by

1.45 km

Downhill direction is towards Backwell. Starts with some nice smooth singletrack in the woods before getting steeper and more technical after the monument. Doable in a gravel bike if you're confident but perhaps more suited to a mtb.

Quarry Edge Gravel Track

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Fine, incredibly well maintained gravel track following the edge of the quarry, but off the road. Nice respite after the Barrow bridleways.

View of Bourton Coombe Fields

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Fields next to Bourton Coombe. Nice riding in spring/summer when it isn't a mud bath. Nice spot just before you go into the woods to stop for a snack and enjoy the countryside.
