Overview

A walk for all with 3 options

Option One. The full walk of 9 miles and 1200ft ascent is 75% on the flat with one short steepish hill near Banwell Castle and a steady climb to Wavering Down.

Coffee stop at 3 miles with the lunch stops just below Wavering Down.

Option Two  Moderate/Hilly       8.5 miles  4.5 hours

As the full walk but on reaching Home Farm at the bottom of Wavering Down it continues down through Kings Wood.

Option Three   Easy      6 miles    3.5 hours

A very easy walk (90% on the flat) with just one hill and no stiles. This option leaves the main walk at Barton going a little further along the road then through a gate on the left, making its way across fields and through gates installed by Woodspring Ramblers to Max Mills Farm. Here it crosses the road and follows the path to Church Road in Winscombe. The lunch stop will be after leaving the main group.

For this walk someone will need to take on the leadership from Barton. Map can be provided.
