This walk is in the past.
We start at the car park at Kilve and follow the spectacular Jurassic coast for a short distance before heading inland and up onto the Quantocks Ridge at Beacon Hill, hopefully enjoying great views from the trig point.
We then follow the main ridge for a short distance before traversing some smaller ridges, before heading down into Holford. From here we follow footpaths and quiet roads back to the sea for a longer walk along the Jurassic Coast back to the car park.
At the end of the walk if required we can drive a short distance to a local pub for some post walk refreshments
This walk involves a few climbs as we go from the coast up to one of the trig points on the Quantocks ridge. So I would call this a 2.5 boot walk.
Mapping software is showing approximately 2200ft of ascent throughout the walk.
It costs approximately £3 to park at Kilve, so please make sure you have some change.
I will be meeting people at the start point, so please can people sort out lift shares at St Mary Redcliffe, if anyone is willing to take charge of this please contact Steph via the website. However, I’m more than happy to give people a lift if they can make it to Clevedon. Or I don’t mind jumping in someone’s car if they don’t mind stopping at Clevedon on route.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
