Overview

 This walk is led and back marked by members of Mendip Ramblers, to whom we are most grateful.  Gus and Ray will take you on a long but not too arduous walk linking Somer Valley with The Cam Valley. This walk is to the west of Midsomer Norton.  From the Somer Valley you will walk to Paulton and along a ridge giving lovely views of The Mendips. Pass the Arnheim Memorial situated in a quiet field and then take back lanes and fields to Farrington Gurney.  After crossing the A37 there are more back lanes and fields to explore before reaching the Cam Brook as it flows through the Cam Valley. Meander through fields to Hinton Blewett.  Return via a nature reserve and walk the edge of Chewton Woods before rising to the side of Farrington golf course and back to Midsomer Norton. The walk gives you the opportunity to 'get away from it all' After the walk enjoy a cuppa and a piece of cake with fellow walkers. Dogs must be under control at all times.
