You can either park in neighbouring Axbridge, or there is a car park on site on Middle Moor Lane and the great thing about this route is that you’ll be on the flat the whole way. When the weather is fine you can expect to see locals enjoying water sports plus there’s always plenty of birdlife to admire along the way too.
