Overview

West Mendip Walkers moderate 8-mile walk commencing from Wedmore Village car park (BS28 4EE). The route takes us north north west across fields to Bear House Farm and then on to Stoughton Cross. The walk continues for a short distance along a quiet country lane to Crickham Farm to pick up a path heading north over fields to Brinscombe Hill. We continue along the ridge until we find a path on the right leading steeply down to Hill farm. Here we turn right along a quiet lane at the end of which we pick up a path by-passing Brinscombe Farm and on to Perrow Lane which exits on to Crib House Lane, and at the cross we continue straight over and on to Yew Tree Farm.  At the T-junction we find a path straight ahead to walk across the Isle of Wedmore Golf Course to Lascot Hill and back to Wedmore . Walking will be largely through meadows and footpaths and glades, with some sections of walking on quiet roads. There are several stiles, one quite high.
