Overview

Starting in the shadow of  Pen Hill Radio Tower we can expect a muddy wander down to The Bishops Palace in Wells for Tea. Taking in the  Cathedral and , allegedly Europe's oldest residential street we head towards Wookey Hole. Following a quick pint we continue our meander up through Ebbor Gorge onto Pen Hill.
