Walking in Somerset

Somerset Area Ramblers covers an area from Frome in the East of the County, to Minehead in the West, from Woodspring in the North, to Yeovil in the South. We have a large section of the coastal path stretching from Minehead to Clevedon, The Quantocks, parts of Exmoor, The Black Down Hills and The Mendips.

Our walking groups in Somerset

Our Area comprises six groups. Mendip, South Somerset, Sedgemoor, Woodspring, Taunton Deane and West Somerset. Together, we run comprehensive walk programmes, work as volunteers with Somerset County Council to protect and enhance the rights of way network and run an annual holiday.
