Overview

This circular walk is a familiar one for the walk leader taking in local area around Nailsea and Backwell.  However, on this day we will walk much of the route in reverse!

Initially, we leave Backwell and head over fields towards the lengthy up hill stretch of Tap’s Coombe. Steep in places, this woodland trail takes us up above Backwell and Chelvey Batch with views of the airport, the local villages and over towards The River Severn.  

A coffee stop and lunch break mid walk (The Jubilee Stone,) before the route wanders down through woodland and we return to our cars.  

The walk is a mix of recognised trails, fields and woodland.  Be prepared for mud and some livestock in places.  Mostly gates rather than stiles.
