Afternoon all,

Im looking to relocate back down to Taunton within the next few months.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good trails within the area, I know Minehead and some edges are really good but was hoping to find fine somewhere a little closer to how for my bread and butter riding. I know the quantocks are on my doorstep but that region is pretty vast so was wondering if there was any particular spot stand out?

Many thanks

Ian

    There's an almost endless supply of options on the Quantocks. Riding down anything ending in Combe is normally a good bet. There are quite a few Taunton locals on the singletrackworld forum who're normally happy to show people around.

    When are you planning on moving? I normally head over to the Quantocks every couple of weeks and would be glad to show you my routes up there.
