Description:-
This is some of the best natural trail in the south west of England. Lots of climbing so I would rate this ride as difficult in a fitness sense and a technical sense. But extreamly worth it. It all depends on how hard you want to push your self. I start at holford and plan to be out riding for atleast 4-5 hours.

Description:-
This is a hard route with over 1200 meters climbing. A high technical level aswell. This is seen by many as the best natural single track in the south west of Britian.
The route can be extended easily to allow for a 5-6 hour epic day out.
You can start at multiple places But I always find Holdford at the bottom of the combes is a good place to start.

Description:-
Trails I did riding straight from the station. Trains from the east can be very quick especially from London where you might only have 2 stops Reading then Taunton.

Not a local so probably doesnt include all the best riding. But recommend the descent along Somerton comber.

Good Pub stop at halfway at West Quantockhead plenty of outdoor seating if muddy.
