Overview

West Mendip Walkers moderate 7.5 mile walk from free car park in Castle Cary (BA7 7EE) to Bruton.

We walk through the town before walking along the Macmillan Way through woodland and fields passing the hamlet of Cole and on towards Bruton. We return along the Leland Trail with expansive views of the area before returning to our start point via the hamlet of Wyke.
There is some minor country lane walking but it is still a dog friendly walk.
