Description
A different route that is a mile shorter than Axbbla one. It heads east along the edge of Axbridge Reservoir and routes via the village of Cheddar to ascend the Mendip scarp via the clifftop walk above Cheddar Gorge. From there it uses paths through fields and farm tracks to cross the Mendip plateau to the open hill at Blackdown, the highest hill in the Mendip area, before descending into Blagdon and the Chew Valley. It can be boggy for a short section on the top in winter or after heavy rain, and the route is less sheltered than Axbbla one

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
