Other walks in the area

Babcary Meadows Nature Reserve

Departure from Babcary (Somerset)

Species rich hay meadow. To see the reserve at its best visit between April and mid-July before the annual hay cut.

White Field Nature Reserve, Butleigh

Unimproved neutral grassland and a small copse. The site has open access via rights of way from Butleigh. Please keep to the edges of the field until the hay has been cut.

Dundon Beacon Nature Reserve, Compton Dundon

Departure from Compton Dundon (Somerset)

A mosaic of calcareous grassland, scrub, ancient oak woodland, secondary woodland and conifer plantation on Dundon Hill. The top of Dundon Hill features significant archaeological remains with a hill fort, Bronze Age round barrow and ancient quarry.

South Cadbury, Somerset

Departure from South Cadbury and Sutton Montis (Somerset)

The walk follows the Corton Ridge and offers great views across the Somerset Levels and the Dorset Hills. It has great historic significance as Cadbury Castle is reputed to be Camelot King Arthur's Castle. You also cross the ancient medieval village of Whitcombe. It's an up and downer and can be boggy in wet weather. As an incentive there are two great pubs you can call in at!

Evercreech to Batcombe and back along the River Alham

Departure from Evercreech (Somerset)

A thoroughly pleasant and not very arduous walk from Evercreech to Chesterblade, then to Batcombe and back along the River Alham. There are quite a few hills but none of them are very long and the total ascent of the walk is surprisingly modest.

Westhay Moor National Nature Reserve

Departure from Meare (Somerset)

Westhay Moor is north of the village of Westhay in Somerset. The car park is just off the road to Godney, at the junction with Daggs Lane Drove. A National Cycle Network route runs along a disused railway line, just south of Westhay village.
