Overview

Join us as we start our walk in Radstock and travel out of the old mining town up to Turner's Tower, remembering to look behind you for views across the valley to Peasedown St John.  From there we travel down to Hemington and then up to Ammerdown, crossing the main A362, and along to the tower there.  Here we experience even more views.  Next we make our way back to Radstock using the national cycle route 24.

We'll stop for both coffee and lunch so bring along refreshments for both of these.
