Although this section is on the road it's still fun on a mountain bike. The surface is good and it's a classic road bike climb so expect to get overtaken by skinny tyres and lots of cars, but the scenery is well worth the effort. Look out for birds of prey, goats and rock climbers on some of the tough sport or trad test pieces.
There are plenty of off-road trails you can use to get up or down the gorge from Cheddar to the top so you only need to ride this in one direction.
