Lands End to John o’ Groats – day 4 – Bridgwater to Gloucester

LEJOG Day 4: Bridgwater to Gloucester | Somerset Levels to Severn Views!

The LEJOG journey rolls on! Today we ride from Bridgwater to Gloucester, trading the flat expanses of the Somerset Levels for the historic charm of Gloucestershire. With nearly 80 miles in the legs by day’s end, this stretch offers a balance of pace, scenery, and some of the most satisfying roads so far.

🚴‍♂️ What’s in the Ride Today:

🚦 A smooth start through the Somerset Levels—fast, flat, and easy on the legs (for now!)

🏞️ Skirting the Quantock Hills and crossing into Avon

🏰 Glimpses of old churches, market towns, and canal paths as we approach the Severn

🌉 Riding alongside the River Severn, with wide-open views and quiet moments

🌇 Rolling into Gloucester—tired, but buzzing from the beauty and history of the day’s ride

Day 4 marks a real turning point: we’re no longer just getting started—we’re in the flow. The bikes are running smooth, and every mile brings us closer to the northern wilds of Scotland.
