Overview

Starting from the Downs Road car park on Dundry, this walk joins and follows the Monarch's Way south to Breach Hill for views across the recently replenished Blagdon and Chew valley reservoirs, before heading through woods, fields and lanes to Chew Stoke for a lunch stop. The afternoon will see us climbing Dundry Hill via a wood in the process of being planted, before returning to the cars.
