Morning Stroller Walk, Somer Valley Walking Festival

A gentle rise out of Timsbury quickly takes you to high ground above the village and traditional farming surroundings where you walk past Farmborough Common and through the Lammas Fields. As you walk towards Priston pheasants and partridge run freely through the elephant grass and hedges.  On the edge of Priston emerge onto the top of the valley where a fine standing stone commemorates the life of a local farmer.  Return along (perhaps) one of the most popular walks for the residents of Timsbury.  The tranquil valley with a babbling brook is home for sheep, ducks and pheasants.  Rise up the hill into Northfield area of the village and return to the hall for a refreshing cuppa and cake.
