Overview

A varied and interesting walk around Mells and the associated hamlets of Mells and Little Green, then along the Wadbury Valley with its industrial archaeology reflecting a time of prosperity in this area.  We come out of the valley at Great Elm and return to Mells via the old disused railway line and the Conduit bridge.  Bring a snack.  There is a nice but expensive pub and a community run shop and cafe, excellent cakes etc.  The Walled Garden should be reopening on April 2nd, and also has a highly recommended cafe.
