Riding the Strawberry Line

The ride follows the Strawberry line trail all of the way. We head out of Yatton station and follow the marked trail until we reach Cheddar. In Cheddar we will ride through towards the gorge and stop at a cafe for lunch. After our break, we head back but with a short diversion to visit Cheddar reservoir. We ride round part of the reservoir and then rejoin the trail in Axbridge.
The route doesn't have any big hills but there are a couple of gentle inclines around Axbridge.

A scenic ride along the old railway line between Yatton and Cheddar. This is an out and back route

The majority of the route is traffic free with a few short sections on road as we ride through Axbridge and Cheddar. The surface of the trail is firm but not tarmac. There is loose gravel and chippings in places so a gravel, mountain or hybrid bike is advised.

We will stop at interesting view points and in Cheddar for refreshments.

Please wear a helmet and bring along some money and a lock for the coffee stop. It is also a good idea to carry a spare tube just in case.

First-timers welcome!
