A moderate to strenuous 11 mile walk circular walk from Axbridge Furlong Car Park; Post code (BS26 2LH) The walk begins through the Furlong; round a section of the reservoir and into Cheddar. It then ascends alongside Batts Coombe quarry to Tynings, and continues through some fields along the West Mendip Way to Shipham. The walk carries on along the West Mendip Way to the bottom of Callow Hill; over the hill to the Axbridge Mast and then back down to Axbridge. The walk goes through fields with livestock; so dog owners be aware please. There are three road crossings; all with fast traffic and/or blind corners so again CARE needed in crossing the roads.
Far reaching views of the Cheddar Reservoir and surrounding countryside from atop the Mendip Hills and Tynings.
The Furlong car park is off Penn Way which itself is off Orchard Road.
