Overview

Join us for this varied 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 the Rock of Ages and finish by crossing Burrington Ham back to Blagdon.

There are a mix of surfaces, stiles and gates.

There are no toilets on the walk, but plenty of bushes.
