We are the Mendip Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
West Mendip Walkers strenuous 8 mile circular walk from Ash Lane, Wells (BA5 2LS). The walk starts by following the Mendip Way towards Wookey Hole, going through quarry on Milton Hill to Lime Kiln Lane and Wookey Hole. Walk continues through village to Wookey Hole Caves Entrance to a footpath on right where we then climb through woods to fields with Smokeham Woods on our right. We come to a wooded escarpment and finally to open land on top of the Mendips. The route then takes us in a westerly direction to Ebor Gorge. We make our way through Ebbor Wood to open fields and follow a footpath to Durston Drove and Higher Pitts Farm and back towards Rookham finally descending to Tynings Lane and on through Manor Farm, Upper Milton to Milton Lodge and back to our starting point.
Good views of Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury Tor in fine weather.
Park on roadside along Ash Lane. Walk starts from footpath leading down to the Blue School.
