This walk is in the past.

A circular Somerset walk taking in Wookey Hole, Ebbor Gorge, the village of Priddy, and the surrounding Mendip Hills. Goes through quiet country lanes and pasture. There is a steep decent through Ebbor Gorge. This walk can be reached by bus or car.

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.
