13 miles
A very pleasant and varied outing in largely virgin territory. Expect untouched rurual settings amidst gentle, rolling hills, with just a few small villages and isolated cottages. The walk connects up some fascinating places and features, such as Mynd Park, an enormous country home and lake, and the wonderful Kilpeck church with its incredibly well-preserved corbels, windows and entrance, plus the ruins of the castle there and a “Grand Designs” home.
There will be a lunchtime stop close to a pub.
Bring a packed lunch.
Walk leader: Keith ( (Phone number removed) )
Meet at 08:30am, outside St George’s Hall on Great George Street (off Park Street) (BS1 5RR)
This walk is led by a member of Bristol Ramblers. For more details, please see their website: www.bristolramblers.org.uk
How do I join the walk?
Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.
On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.
If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?
We provide a full recommended kit list here. Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.
Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot. Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
