(D/A) The walk starts in School Lane. Walk until the paved road split and turn on the second path on your left.
(1) When the path splits, take the path on your right and then, take the wide path that goes up and straight.
(2) Follow the path on the left. At the first intersection, keep going straight to the second intersection where you'll go right and right again at the next intersection.
(3) Take the first path on your left which goes down. This part of the walk might be really muddy and therefore slippery.
(4) Turn right.

(6) Turn right on the path that climbs to the West Mendip Way. When you're at the top, go right and walk down. The path will join a paved road. Follow it until you reach the car park (D/A)

We were disappointed with the directions for this walk, more land marks needed as it wasn’t clear which path we had to take from the beginning of the walk.

Lovely walk. Nothing majorly challenging, a few uphills and some stunning views. I’d add pictures but there doesn’t seem to be an option.
