This walk is in the past.
This walk doesn't have a booking system. Just turn up at the start point.
We'll walk up the hill from Banwell, making sure to follow the paths on the south side of Banwell Hill as there's a grumpy farmer on the north side if you miss the footpath!
Crossing the M5, we'll walk down to Loxton before crossing back and making a steep climb up Crook Peak. The route then follows the top of the hill east past Waverly Down to the Strawberry Line, which well follow through Winscombe before taking paths (and a little road) back to Banwell.
There are some steep, and potentially slippery, sections on this walk and there may be a few puddles to wade through (nothing too deep) so boots or walking shoes are recommended. Expect some cows and sheep along the way.
Potential post-walk pub stop: The Brewers Arms is on the river Banwell a short walk from the car park and has a garden.
Covid bits...
There are gates/stiles and we are advised to use gloves/hand sanitiser.
We are advised to maintain a level of physical distancing, taking care at pinch points like gates/styles/road crossings.
