Standing in the centre of Priddy village green, this thatched stack of hurdles holds an important place in the history of the village. Local saying has it that if the hurdles did not remain in place from one sheep fair until the next, the lord of the manor could refuse the villagers' right to hold the annual fair, an event that has taken place since 1348.

View of Somerset from Wookey Hole Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Maybe this should be the Ebbor Gorge hill as the segment finishes at Wookey Hole but spends most of the time alongside Ebbor Gorge?
Anyway, a long steady hill to climb or a fun descent but don't go too fast as the surface isn't great and the road is narrow.
Stop at the car park near the top for great views over the Mendips. Or stop at Ebbor Gorge car park nearer the bottom, Ebbor Gorge is a great walk but not somewhere to take a road bike.
