Overview

PLEASE NOTE START TIME IS 2.00 pm
 

Starting in the car park at Hawkridge Reservoir, this walk will take you through picturesque woodland and verdant farmland, with occasional stretches along lanes. A highlight of the walk is the section along the Quantock Greenway, offering splendid views across the Somerset Levels and the Bristol Channel to the Mendips and Glastonbury Tor.

The walk encompasses a variety of terrains. You will traverse a steep hill and cross a stream, adding to the adventurous spirit of the journey. Some tracks can be muddy, so appropriate footwear is recommended. Despite these challenges, the walk offers a rewarding experience with its glorious vistas and serene natural surroundings.
