Overview

Early Info, please check before the walk date.  

An early spring walk in vintage Somerset countryside.  From the well cared for village of Pilton, famous for 'that' festival, we walk across the famous site and climb up Pennard Hill  to East Pennard.  There are several wooded areas after visiting Pylle village, and we stay away from main roads, using some very quiet country lanes to link the green footpaths up.  This area does not benefit from many kissing gates so be prepared for stiles.
