Overview

A circular walk in the Mendip Hills. We initially walk to Blagdon, with superb views of the lake, then through fields to Rickford, and on to Burrington village. This is followed by a long climb up to Burrington Ham, rewarded with some great views across the Mendips at the top. Some stiles and may be muddy in places.
