Overview

West Mendip Walkers moderate 10 mile circular walk from West Pennard village (BA6 8RT). The walk follows footpaths over farm land and along short sections of quiet lanes, taking in the villages of West Bradley, Hembridge and East Pennard. The walk then heads north west joining the Monarchs Way to Pennard Hill, we then head south west through open meadow to Bradley Brook before turning northwest up Washing Stones Gully and onto Cottles lane, from there we then descend following footpaths across fields back to the start point.
