We are the Somer Valley Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Side valleys and hills lead on to a ridge walk on Burledge Hill overlooking Chew Valley Lake. Views open up, of the Chew Valley , and (potentially) beyond to the Mendips , South Wales and Gloucestershire.
There are slopes to climb but also easier going in between. There's a good variety of lanes, footpaths, minor roads, woods and views.
There was plenty of mud and water, indeed water meadows, on my pre-walk on the 10th of November, after heavy overnight rain. We may expect more rain, although hopefully not so much, to come before the 15th, so come prepared. A stick is recommended and a good pair of walking boots. The paths were negotiable by side-stepping the wettest parts and my muddy boots were well washed! However, the route was successfully completed.
The Green, at Hinton Blewett, opposite the Ring O'Bells pub. There is car parking here. If full there is parking on the Upper Road, just beyond the church.
