Overview

West Mendip Walkers moderate circular 11.8 mile walk from Wrington Chapel (BS40 5NH) with 1,100 feet of ascent. We start by heading north up Bullhouse Lane before taking a meandering westerly footpath through Water Catch and the Westerly part of Corporation Woods. We then head in a northerly direction through King’s Wood before crossing the outskirts of Cleeve and up onto Cleeve Toot, an Iron Age hillfort, and Cleeve Combe. From there we head in an easterly direction towards Warren House and Goblin Combe before heading south past Spying Copse and Pine Farm and through Prestow Wood with a short road walk back to Wrington Chapel.
