Overview

March figure of 8 will take in tors, ancient and medieval settlements and a good dollop of mud along the way is pretty much assured.  PLEASE BE AWARE that with all the recent wet weather the Mariners Way stream crossing near West Combe is a little tricky, but doable and by the time March comes along will hopefully have improved. 

Dogs on leads welcome.

Starting from Bennett’s Cross Car Park
