Overview

West Mendip Walkers 10 mile moderate walk from Farrington's Farm Shop. Leaving the Farm Shop car park we set off E through the village and cross the busy A37 onto Pitway Lane. We then walk across fields and through Chewton Wood towards Litton, skirting around the village to walk along the edge of Coley Reservoir. We turn N and climb up to Hinton Blewett before dropping down towards Cameley. From there we head S through Hollow Marsh Nature Reserve and back towards Farrington Gurney.
