Other walks in the area

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!

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.

Cerne Abbas circuit

Departure from Cerne Abbas (Dorset)

A circular walk giving beautiful views over the surrounding countryside of rolling hills and meadows.

White Field Nature Reserve, Butleigh

Departure from Butleigh (Somerset)

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.

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.
