South Cadbury, Somerset
↔14.54 km ↗+219 m ↘-220 m ◔4h 45 ▲Moderate
⚑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!

⚑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.
