Walkmates
From WSM, take the A371 towards Banwell. Turn right into Westfield Crescent (pink house on corner), park on road (or round the corner on Westfield Road). Please note there is parking at the Village Hall, however the sign states that the carpark closes at midday on a Sat! Bit more challenging due to distance and climbs. Paths, tracks and a small bit of road walking. Several stiles.
Three climbs – two short ones near Banwell and a longer one to Wavering Down. Ascend / descend 1100ft. We will take it steady – walk at your own pace. Walking poles recommended for climb. Effort is rewarded with great views towards Bristol Channel and Somerset Levels.
Livestock in fields, not suitable for dogs. Picnic.
