1. This is an undulating road route, of nearly 65 miles, on A and B roads and country lanes, that takes in some of the nicest and quietest roads in Somerset. Starting in Taunton town centre, it takes you out of the town to Wiveliscombe. Then you turn towards Exmoor with good views and some challenging stretches. At Weddon Cross you will drop into Bampton and then take an undulating road back towards Wiveliscombe. Finally, retrace the first leg of the journey, returning to Taunton. | |
