Overview

We start by following the East Mendip way to the edge of Frome and then drop into Vallis Vale at Hapsford. We will then follow Buckland Brook to Buckland Dinham. From Buckland we will return to Frome through Orchardleigh Woods and estate stopping briefly at the church on the lake in the estate. There are some stiles along the Buckland Brook section and a descent in Orchardleigh where a walking pole may be useful.  Bring snack.
