Overview

This stroll of about 6 miles takes us north of Midsomer Norton and into the Cam Valley.  Along the way we will head uphill to get a birds eye view of Midsomer Norton. Take an opportunity to walk fields before solar panels are installed and admire one of the best views in the district of the Cam Valley, stretching from Greyfield Wood to Camerton Colliery and beyond. If you wish to fed the ducks, please bring some bird seed rather then bread, (which pollutes the pond.)  We will wiggle our way back to Midsomer Norton via Brittens, Ham, Monger and Greenhill.  Midsomer Norton is served with several bus routes and has plenty of coffee shops.
