Overview

We will be walking up through lanes and woodland to reach the open ground of Burrington Ham. We will then cross this open space before dropping down and climbing again up on to the Black Down Hills and the Trig Point at Beacon Batch where we will stop for refreshments!

We will then cross Black Down’s Ridge enjoying spectacular views over countryside and across to Wales before dropping steeply downwards on a broad grassy pathway before entering more woodland which leads us down to another country lane and takes us back to the car park.

You are all more than welcome to join Kelvin afterwards at The Seymour Arms. Bath Road, Blagdon, BS40 7TH for a well deserved drink and lunch should you desire.  Bookings for Sunday lunch 01761 462279.
