About this route

This route was designed by the organisers of the Tour of Wessex, not by London Dynamo.

Sportive routes change from year to year, and this page uses the distances and climbing published by the organisers. Event details are on the Sportive.com listing site.

On the route

The Tour of Wessex was run in 2025 as a one day ride from Abbey Road in Sherborne, Dorset. Riders chose 125km, 250km or 375km by riding one, two or three laps of a 125km circuit, which passes Glastonbury Tor and crosses the Somerset Levels, including the Shapwick and Westhay nature reserves. The organisers have not published a total for the climbing.

The event has changed format over the years, so check the organiser’s current details before relying on this page.

This page is for riding the route outside the sportive, on your own or with friends. There are no organised feed stops, so plan your food and water for the day.

Event names and logos belong to their owners and are shown for identification only. London Dynamo is not affiliated with these events.
