This route starts from a Sainsburys located on the A4174; this is part of the ring road around Bristol and easily accessed from the M4 / M32 motorway. As we leave the supermarket, we are almost straight on to the semi country roads towards Keynsham. Keynsham is a town and civil parish located between Bristol and Bath in Somerset, England. It was listed in the Domesday Book as Cainesham, which is believed to mean the home of Saint Keyne. From here we head south and picking up the A37. As we approach Shepton Mallet, we arrive at (RP 8) Kilver Court. Kilver Court is an historic house and garden in Shepton Mallet in the county of Somerset. The River Sheppey powered textile mills which later became a factory, the headquarters of the Showerings brewing business, with its famous Babycham chamois mascot displayed outside the factory entrance, just set back a little on the right-hand side of the road.

Still heading south, we pass (RP 9) the Royal Bath and West of England Showground, deemed the South West’s Premier Events Centre. The Royal Bath and West of England Showground Society was founded in 1777 with the aims of encouraging agriculture, arts, manufacture and commerce and now organises several significant agricultural and rural shows at the Showground each year, it’s an inspiring venue for a range of outdoor events, meetings and conferences.

Our next point of call is (RP 11) the Haynes International Motor Museum. A living and working Museum, with over 400 amazing cars and bikes from nostalgic classics of the 50s and 60s. Housed within 17 exhibition areas, the Museum's vast Collection of veteran, vintage and classic cars and bikes offers a fascinating window into motoring history. The centres highly skilled technicians are a one stop shop for all things motoring. Fuelling man and machine on the first and now second Sunday of each month, the Haynes Breakfast Club has become the place to meet likeminded enthusiasts in a relaxed environment and enjoy a full English to boot, in the Café 750, the perfect pitstop, serving freshly cooked local produce served in a stunning setting.

After the history of all things motorised, we could now see the Beaminster Museum (RP 17) in West Dorset, which is a small museum of local history with plenty to see and do for all ages, which visitors from far and wide have declared “delightful” and “fascinating”. Jurassic fossils from internationally renowned Horn Park Quarry, the permanent collection highlights all aspects of life and work in Beaminster and its surrounding villages since geological times. Three stone axes from 500,000 years ago, before Neanderthal times, were found in a local hedge-line, which lead you into the Iron Age and Bronze Age artefacts. The Roman Army also left behind its mark as it marched from Dorchester to Exeter. You can see agriculture though the centuries, and how the World Wars made their impact in the area that served this rural community.

You may be no stranger to West Bay (RP 19), but did you know that, with the stunning golden glow of the majestic sandstone cliffs and the shimmering radiance of Golden Cap, West Bay is the Golden Gateway to the Dorset Jurassic Coast? West Bay is a charming fishing village located on one of the most dramatic stretches of the Jurassic Coast. It is a wonderfully popular seaside location for family holidays, coast and countryside walks, fossil hunting, fishing / angling trips and scuba diving. TV buffs will recognise this beach from ITV crime drama, Broadchurch starring David Tennant and Olivia Colman. The stunning landscapes with breath taking views from its cliff tops that surround the village are well worth the walk. There is a wonderful selection of places to eat that surround the harbour and a few have been flagged for you. The coast at West Bay forms part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site which stretches for 96 miles (154 km) and includes most of the Dorset coastline. West Bay also lies within the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

More of the Jurassic Coast, World Heritage Site is the lunch stop at Lyme Regis (RP 21). Lyme Bay shares its coast between East Devon and West Dorset. Moving west from the most easterly point, we are in the county of Dorset, sometimes known as The Bay of a Thousand Wrecks -as Lyme Bay has been a well-known area through the ages for ships taking shelter from storms. The ancient town featured in the Domesday Book and is now home to a number of historical landmarks and educational attractions. Lyme Regis, was a medieval port which became a seaside resort in the 18th Century. Edward I (1239-1307) granted Lyme its royal title (Regis) in 1284 during his wars against the French, sheltering his fleet in the harbour with the protection of the massive breakwater known as 'The Cobb', which was built in the 13th Century. The novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817) owned a seafront cottage here in around 1804 and set part of the setting of 'Persuasion' in Lyme Regis. Mary Anning (1799-1847) was born on the site of the Philpot Museum. She became a famous and pioneering geologist at Lyme Regis, making a living from the subject. She sold her larger discoveries to museums and collectors, with smaller fossils being made available to ordinary visitors. She became known as 'The Princess of Palaeontology'. It is also claimed that Mary Anning was the subject of the tongue twister: 'She sells sea shells on the sea shore'. Most of the East Devon Lyme Bay coast is within the Triassic Period, while most of the West Dorset Lyme Bay coast is within the Jurassic Period. Each village and town along the Lyme Bay coast have played its part in English history.

Moving away from the coast now and heading north to Bristol, we arrive at (RP 24) Perry's Cider Mill, this is a cider mill and rural museum set in the picturesque Somerset village of Dowlish Wake. All their ciders are pressed, fermented and bottled from Somerset cider apples at the family farm. Samples from their fantastic range of multi award winning ciders are available in the farm shop which is well stocked along with local produce and wide selection of gifts.

Now at (RP 28) a stop for coffee, where In Glastonbury, history, myth and legend combine in such a way that most visitors cannot fail to feel the “vibes” and powerful atmosphere of the town. As Glastonbury is not only the cradle of Christianity in England but is also reputed to be the burial place of King Arthur. Glastonbury is also thought to have been a site for pre-Christian worship, perhaps because of its location by the Tor, the highest of the hills surrounding Glastonbury. The spectacular, extensive and majestic ruins of the Abbey are situated just off the town’s main High Street, where many of the shops are involved in the sale of mystical objects and artifacts. Glastonbury with its myths, legends and ley lines has become a centre for New Age culture and spiritual healing. It is also home to the legendary Glastonbury festival which was established in 1970.

On reaching (RP 30) you could turn Right and head towards Wells Cathedral. Wells Cathedral is set in the medieval heart of England’s smallest city and is the earliest English Cathedral to be built in the Gothic style. It is moderately sized for an English cathedral; its broad west front and large central tower are dominant features. It has been called "unquestionably one of the most beautiful" and "most poetic" of English cathedrals. Its Gothic architecture is mostly in Early English style of the late 12th – early 13th centuries, lacking the Romanesque work that survives in many other cathedrals. The east end retains much ancient stained glass. Unlike many cathedrals of monastic foundation, Wells has many surviving secular buildings linked to its chapter. It is a Grade I listed building.

Our last stop of the day (RP 33) which is a lovely spot to see the flora and fauna at Chew Valley Lake, this is a biggest reservoir in the Chew Valley, Somerset, England, and the fifth-largest artificial lake in the United Kingdom (the largest in south-west England), with an area of 1,200 acres (4.9 km²). The lake, created in the early 1950s and opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956, provides much of the drinking water for the city of Bristol and surrounding area, taking its supply from the Mendip Hills. Some of the water from the lake is used to maintain the flow in the River Chew. The lake is an important site for wildlife and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Protection Area (SPA). It is a national centre for birdwatching, with over 260 species recorded. The lake has indigenous and migrant water birds throughout the year, and two nature trails have been created. The area the lake covers was once rich farmland. Farms and houses had to be removed before the land was flooded, and old roads, hedgerows and tree stumps can reappear when dry summers cause the level of the lake to drop. The largest settlement was Moreton, which is listed in the Domesday Book and survived until the flooding of the lake, when the remains of the Moreton Cross were moved to Chew Stoke Parish. Further excavations around the village of Moreton, which has now been totally submerged, found evidence of a thriving community in medieval times and possibly the remains of the Nunnery of Santa Cruz. During the Middle Ages farming was the most important activity in the area covered by the lake, supported by four flour mills powered by the River Chew. Stratford Mill was demolished and re-erected in the grounds of Blaise Castle Museum, in north-west Bristol.

We then ride back to our start point at the Sainsburys supermarket located on the A4174.
