Overview

From the car park in Paulton we head out towards Clandown and Radstock, stopping for coffee with views over the valley.  From there we head back towards Midsomer Norton, past Old Mills and the slag heap on towards Farrington Gurney.  After a steep climb we'll stop for lunch looking over Farrington and the surrounding countryside.  We'll then make our way back down into Farrington and then back to Paulton.
