The trails at Triscombe are located at the southern end of the Quantocks. The Quantocks route skirts the edge of these trails and goes through the car park that is the starting point. Whilst the route across the Quantocks is an cross country style route the trails at Triscombe are more Enduro complete with jumps and drops.
The trails are on either side of a valley there are fireroad that run along the top and bottom, providing easy access to the top of the trails and a way back up. The fireroad climbs are not that arduous and for the efficient seekers there are more direct albeit steeper routes back up to the top.
The trails offer a wide range of challenges, there are nice flowing single tracks, while others have a range of more technical features. Triscombe is perfect for both downhill and trail bikes, with a wide variety of terrain to choose from depending on your preference.
A mixture of steep, technical and flowy runs with a large dose of loam included. There is enough to keep you entertained for a day's or even a weekend's worth of riding. The trails are close enough to the car park to allow for an easy return to the car for snacks and drinks. For added variety a ride round the Quantocks or Exmoor could be added in to make a longer trip to the south west.
