Other walks in the area
Keynsham to Bath on the south side of the Avon
This linear Somerset walk includes typical English countryside, quiet villages, old buildings and historic churches. The route runs from Keynsham to Bath along the northern fringes of the Mendip Hills, and its proximity to both Bath and Bristol ensures that it is well served by public transport.
Swineford Picnic Site
From Swineford Picnic Area, the route climbs up through the village of Upton Cheyney; from here it's over fields, passing Beach House, and on to Coldharbour Farm. Return is back down the valley, up the other side via the humorously named – Grandmother’s Rock Lane, then onto the less humorous - Hanging Hill, up to Lansdown. Then a short section of the Cotswold Way. On leaving the Cotswold Way the route continues downhill to the village of North Stoke to pick and back to the Swineford Car Park.
Along River Chew, Pensford and Hunstrete Lake from Compton Dando
This circular walk explores paths around Compton Dando using sections of Two Rivers Way and Three Peaks Walk. You will walk along River Chew, also go across Lord's and Common Woods by Hunstrete Lake.
From Stanton Prior via Burnett, Compton Dando and Marksbury.
Reasonably lengthy walk of nearly 8 miles, to test your navigation skills, but offering lovely open views of the Somerset countryside.
Newbridge Circular, via Beckfords Tower and Bath Race Course
This walk has fantastic views but has an uphill start which may require a few rest stops. If on a summer weekend, you may be able to go up Beckford’s Tower. It soon joins the Cotswold Way and visits the famous Prospect Style with a useful topograph. The start and end is at a riverside pub called the Boathouse, and a bus Park & Ride.
Around Battlefields
This walk starts at Lansdown Golf Club and takes in part of The Cotswold Way and spectacular views out across the scenery. It also takes you past sites of historic interest in the Battle of Lansdown.
