Coal, canals and country vistas (Somer Valley Ramblers walk)

This walk takes you south of Timsbury into a landscape shaped by coal mining, now engulfed in nature.  Much of your route will have been walked by men, women, and children on their way to work the pits and farms. Almost immediately on leaving Timsbury the vista opens towards the south west. The farmland provides an undulating walk to the Somerset Coal Canal. You take a lesser walked path up out of the Cam Valley through a conservation area. Over the hill the route follows an avenue of trees to Clandown where you will hear about the unusual guest of The Lamb Inn. From Clandown start your walk back to the hall via fields and Camerton Court. Rejoin the Limestone Link before climbing out of the valley through Lower Conygre batch. View a new vineyard and admire the impressive period house, ‘Parishes’ before reaching your well deserved tea and cake refreshments.

Please arrive in time to register on site for the walk.  There will be a short pre-walk health and safety update. 

Please bring a drink and a light picnic. You will be walking a mixture of fields, tracks and country lanes so expect some mud if the ground is wet. Please wear sturdy footwear.

Well behaved dogs on a lead welcome on this walk.
