This walk was originally scheduled for the 16th of February, it has now moved to 22nd of March due to storm Dennis

Two classic National Trust walks around Stourhead, joined up as one, that can be enjoyed as a two boot (approximately 13 miles) or as a shorter 5 mile walk up Whitesheet Hill. This would then allow, those that wish to, the opportunity to pay to go into the gardens and enjoy tea and cake at the visitor centre. Those on the two boot (if we have a good pace) will have the chance to walk to and go up King Alfreds Tower with amazing views. A great walk with lots of historic features and fine views. Expect mud!!

Parking is available at the main pay and display car park. Free for National Trust Members who scan their card at the machine.

The walk leader will meet the group in Stourton. Other members of the group will organise car shares from St Mary Redcliffe.

Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.

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,
