Wednesday 26th October 2011 Bridgwater to Wookey Hole 61 km


Route: Bridgwater - Chedzoy - Bawdrip - Cossington - Chilton Polden - Catcott - Shapwick - Ashcott - Glastonbury - The Tor - Edgarley - Brindham - Queens Sedge Moor - Launcherly - Dullcote - Wells - Wookey Hole.

We had a pleasant easy ride today, with only one five minute shower of rain.

The route took us through the town of Glastonbury where the famous music festivals are held. Overlooking the town centre is the "Glastonbury Tor", which has a church tower on its peak, so we climbed up to have a look. It has quite a bit of historical significance.

There are a number of stone pilgrim marker signs along the way between the Tor and Wells. I gather the idea is for the Pilgrims to follow the route and ring the bell at each point.

Wells is a very beautiful town with an amazing Bishops Palace complete with moat.

We're staying at Wookey Hole tonight, which is the scene of ancient caves and a great kids adventure centre.

We've been told to expect heavy downpours of rain tomorrow on our way to Bristol.
