Overview

We start with a short steep climb to reach Burrington Ham. Our frequently undulating route takes in Blagdon and Velvet Bottom before we take the often rugged path to Cheddar and lunch. We then climb through woodland on the other side of Cheddar Gorge. A stretch of flatter walking leads us to Tyning's Farm from where we return to our start point via Black Down. The total ascent is in the region of 2,500 feet.
