This walk is in the past.
Starting off from Burrington Combe parking layby at 10:20am, this scenic walk will take us across the ridge of Dolebury Warren nature reserve, the site of an Iron Age fort with its double ramparts and site of a medieval rabbit warren offering fantastic views, following the Limestone Link. Hopefully we'll be able to spot some wild spring flowers on the limestone grassland. We'll follow the ridge further before working our way to Shipham village (potential quick pub refreshment stop here). We will then walk through Rowberrow Warren coniferous forest up on to the open Black Down and up to Beacon Batch trig point with more dramatic views to finish. This walk does have hills, so be prepared for that! New people most welcome!
NB: I will be going direct to the walk start, anyone requiring a lift from the Keynsham, Kingswood, St George area specifically, please let me know. Car sharing is encouraged and the central meet point for people wanting to offer or have a lift is the Water Tower, Clifton. If anyone is willing to coordinate car chare at the Clifton meet point, please let me know.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
