A38 Shute Shelve

Start: GR 419548    Finish: GR 423561
Length: 1.4km        Height Gain: 67m

Would be pleasant but there's too much traffic. If you insist - start from the New Inn at Cross and pull north up the A38. A steady grind past the chicken farm, avoid getting mown down by passing petrol-heads through the narrows where the Strawberry Line crosses and continue up to the Texaco garage at the top. If you have the time, take the A371 towards Cheddar from Cross and come over the Mendips using Shipham Road - far better, and you still get the glide down the hill on the A38 at Churchill.
