Overview

West Mendip Walkers moderate 8 mile, circular walk. Starting at Blagdon car park, the walk goes up through the High Street, across farmland to Burrington, across the Coombe Road and up The Link onto Dolebury Warren. We might stop for a coffee break here to admire the view. The walk then takes us down a steeply stepped path, rejoins The Limestone Link, then goes up and across Blackdown. We return to Blagdon via The Ham.
