Overview

An undulating walk in Somerset farmland area. Rising out of Dunkerton we will reach the tiny hamlet of  Nailwell before descending into Inglesbatch and onwards to Priston with its enormous shiny cockeral adorning the church tower. Naturally the return route takes us up to Tunley and back down to Dunkerton.  If the weather is fair the walk will be about 7.5 miles but if the weather is unkind the walk will be shortened to 6.5 miles.  Two long ascents with no pressure to race to the top!
