Rowberrow Warren

Highlight • MTB Park

Rowberrow Warren is a leased wood by Forestry England on the western side of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a very popular spot with all users but particularly horse riders and mountain bikers. Please take care as there are lots of bridleways and paths and horses can easily be spooked by fast bikes. Ride Mendips look after the official Mountain Bike Trails. Making new trails is illegal. Find more information about the trails here ridemendips.org

Black Down Summit and Wild Ponies

Highlight • Natural

Black Down is the highest area of the Mendip Hills and affords wonderful views across the Bristol Channel into Wales, over Weston-super-Mare, the Chew Valley, the Quantocks and beyond. There are many Bronze Age burial sites dotted around. You might also see the wild ponies strutting their stuff.

Black Down Summit (Beacon Batch)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Black Down is the highest area in the Mendips, the summit Beacon Batch stands at 325m offering great views north towards Bristol and south over Cheddar and the Mendips.
The running is good with lots of ascent for the south and brilliant moorland trails. It can get a bit boggy around the edges in the winter but generally it drains well, and you can run here all year. The best routes are from Burrington Combe in the north or Cheddar in the south but there are loads of options.
