We are pleased to announce the inaugural Somerset Circle Discovery Ride on 18-19th April 2026, supported by the Strawberry Line Society, which aims to promote the concept of the Somerset Circle, using a sample route for cyclists. The Strawberry Line between Shepton Mallet and Clevedon forms 29 miles of the circa 88-mile Somerset Circle that covers four counties and Bristol, sweeping around the Mendips.
A small group of dedicated riders will depart Bath Abbey heading to Midsommer Norton and then Shepton Mallet, before passing along the Strawberry Line on the afternoon of Saturday 18th April, passing through Wells before stopping in Cheddar overnight. The riders will then continue on the morning of Sunday 19th April to Clevedon via Yatton, and then onwards towards Bristol to complete the Somerset Circle back to Bath Abbey.
There will be a chance for the public, Strawberry Line volunteers, supporters, and members to meet the riders at various stops between Bath and Clevedon over the two days, where the Strawberry Line Society will be present to welcome the riders. At our reception stops, local dignitaries will be attending
If you wish to join the ride or purely meet the riders, more details and locations can be found in the pdf file attached below. But please do put 18-19th April 2026 in your calendar to join us and cheer on the small team as they cycle through your area.
