We are the Bristol Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Join us for this varied and rewarding walk on the Mendip Hills. We will have terrific views of Blagdon Lake from the start, walk through the picturesque village of Rickford, climb up to overlook the Rock of Ages and finish by crossing Burrington Ham back to Blagdon.
Note that the walk is more demanding than many Wednesday walks. There are a mix of surfaces and some are uneven. The walk is undulating throughout with one long, steady climb. Plenty of kissing gates but no stiles.
We shall stop for a break at Burrington Church. Many of us bring a flask and snack for this time.
It may be hot so please bring plenty of water.
There are no toilets on the walk, but plenty of bushes.
We start and finish at the New Inn in Blagdon. For those who wish to drink or eat afterwards then this is your place! We shall meet in the car park of the New Inn, Blagdon. Please park towards the back of the car park. If you do not intend to drink or eat, please use street parking. Public transport seems to be lacking. There are buses to Langport but it is a long way to the start from there.
