Tips from the Community
About the patronage of this church: Saint ANDREW is one of the twelve apostles that Jesus Christ called to follow him. However, in the biblical accounts he is usually somewhat overshadowed by his much more famous brother: Saint Peter. In the Gospels we find the calling of the two siblings presented in different ways. According to the text of the Gospel of John (John 1:40-42), Andrew is called first (together with another disciple whose name is not mentioned). Later he tells his brother that he has found the Messiah. The feast of Saint Andrew in the calendar of saints is on November 30th in all major Christian denominations. The X-shaped white "St. Andrew's Cross" on which he was executed forms the national flag of Scotland against a blue background and has also found its way into the national flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

Beautiful stretch of road that you're rewarded with after climbing up from Wells. Can be very windy obviously, mostly flat.

Standing in the centre of Priddy village green, this thatched stack of hurdles holds an important place in the history of the village. Local saying has it that if the hurdles did not remain in place from one sheep fair until the next, the lord of the manor could refuse the villagers' right to hold the annual fair, an event that has taken place since 1348.

Maybe this should be the Ebbor Gorge hill as the segment finishes at Wookey Hole but spends most of the time alongside Ebbor Gorge? Anyway, a long steady hill to climb or a fun descent but don't go too fast as the surface isn't great and the road is narrow. Stop at the car park near the top for great views over the Mendips. Or stop at Ebbor Gorge car park nearer the bottom, Ebbor Gorge is a great walk but not somewhere to take a road bike.

A pretty village where the road follows a stream. There's quite a stiff climb up Bowden Hill and Bakers Lane to the south, where you can find a Co-op store at the top.
