We are the West Mendip Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

West Mendip Walkers moderate 9 mile walk from Congresbury. A delightful and varied walk starting with a climb to the Iron Age fortifications of Cadbury Camp with good views across to the Mendips. The fort dates back 3,000 years and is one of five Cadbury Camps in SW England. From here we descend into King’s Wood and make our way to the pretty Combes of Cleeve and Goblin Combe. We then take a sunken track to Wrington Hill again enjoying fine views. Next stop for lunch in the historic village of Wrington. From here we follow the Two Rivers Way alongside the River Yeo back to Congresbury.
Please note the first part of the walk is along a quiet lane. There may be livestock in the fields alongside the river. No stiles. Post walk refreshments at The Congresbury Arms. This walk has a few gentle climbs. [NB Out of fairness to everyone, regular walkers with the West Mendip Walkers are asked to take their turn in leading walks, typically around two a year].
