Overview

This walk attempts to replicate the first walk I did with Bristol Ramblers in November 1994. From Newton St Loe we go through the University grounds at Newton Park and reach Stanton Prior for coffee. We then have a steep climb towards Priston for lunch.

In the afternoon we return via Priston Mill and Wilmington Farm.
