Overview

Valleys and hillsides south of Bath that include the villages of Combe Hay and Southstoke, a few remnants of the Somerset Coal Canal, a short section of the former Bristol & North Somerset Railway and some fine views. There could be an even older transport link in the shape of a section of the Roman Foss Way, depending upon conditions underfoot. It is February so ‘there will be mud’ and there is one main ascent of some 300 feet between Combe Hay and Southstoke. Bring snack.
