Overview

This is my Kilmersden walk, but reversed to allow for lunch break at Mells. To allow for lunch break the morning walking is  shorter than the afternoon. Choice of refreshments - picnic opposite community cafe, community cafe, walled garden cafe and Talbot Inn. I have added a 3 mile extension through an industrial landscape that in the 1500's manufactured edged agricutural machinery sent all over the world. The walk is largely on hard surface but includes woodland and fields which may be muddy. Distance 10 miles 580 ft of ascent. NOTE google maps from Great George Street suggests travel via A37 via Midsomer Norton. This route includes narrow roads. A4, A39 via Peasedown St John is bigger roads
