Hello All,

I'm just on a bit of a fact finding mission. I've been looking on the map at the Quantocks to try and find something a bit different. I normally ride the main trails but fancy having a little explore close by.

Does anyone know what the area's of woods are like west of North Petherton? There are places called Wind Down Plantation, Kings Cliff Wood, Broomfield Common and The Thickets. Is there decent riding there?

Help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Wind down is mostly forest tracks and nasty muddy tracks, a contrast to that in the north.
Nowt to mention in the Thickets and Broom field common(other than a BW through the middle).

The good news is that Kings cliff has had local trail building going on for the past decade, with new improvements recently being completing giving a 8 mile loop within the wood. It's more of a training loop for xc types, though fun can be had on the area, of piste and noncing around on Devils drop, etc.

HTH.

Good work Sharki. May take a look there. Are the trails marked in any way or reasonably easy to find?
