Overview

West Mendips Walkers moderate 7 mile (11 Km walk) starting at the Riverside Inn, Cheddar. We start by walking through Cheddar on quiet roads to the Kings of Wessex school, then towards the Cheddar campsite.  We cross the main road to go towards the Cheddar Gorge and then walk via Bradley Cross and some special meadows. We head towards Lion Rock, Velvet Bottom and along part of West Mendip Way towards the top of Tuttors Hill and finally back to the Riverside inn. This walk has a few gentle climbs with about 360m elevation.  There are some nature reserves on the way and there is a pub at the end. Please note that the meal at the end is a social event for members of the West Mendip Walkers group.
