Overview

So, we'll try again!  This walk was cancelled due to storms at the end of last year.

Mells, just a few miles west of Frome is widely held to be among the most beautiful villages in Somerset.  We will walk onto Barrow Hill with lovely views.  Walking mostly across fields and through woods, following the riverside path alongside the Mells Stream, it could be muddy so walking boots and poles advised.

We will have a drink after the walk at the Talbot Inn or the Village Cafe in Mells which we pass on our way through the village on our way back to the cars.
