Activities/Cycling & Walking
There is a wide variety of activities available to people in the area.
Cycling is one of the best ways to see the area in all its glory. The South Somerset Cycle Route follows the quietest, prettiest lanes for a 80 mile circular tour and links with the Wiltshire and Dorset routes and the Sustrans national network. It can be done in stages or adapted using suggested diversions into nearby towns. You will discover quiet, secluded villages with their individual houses, thatched roofs and beautiful cottage gardens.
We have information on many other shorter routes across the area. Bike hire can be arranged for an additional fee.
