Charlton Adams Copley Wood, Littleton and Somerton

West Mendip Walkers 12 mile moderately strenuous circular walk taking in parts of the Polden Way, the Mendip Ring and the Macmillan Way and passing through woodland, meadow land, and orchards. We'll start from the Charltons Community Hall (TA11 7BE) and follow footpaths and drove lanes to the pretty hamlet of Hurcot. From there, we climb steeply up to Copley Wood and make our way for a mile or so through the woods before descending sharply down rickety wooden steps. We then follow West Hill ridge, touching briefly on Littleton before walking on to Etsome Farm. We walk on past the Fisheries and into the edge of Somerton, which we leave rapidly to cross the fields below Kingsdon Woods and on to Huish Lane. A long walk across fields takes us back into the Charltons.
