This walk is in the past.
Starting by Birnbeck Pier in Weston Super Mare we head up into Kewstoke Woods on a bridleway passing the remains of the Iron Age Fort.
We then traverse the woods on well used footpaths and then head down past the bike jump park where if we are lucky with might get to see the Lesser or Greater (all depends on the skills) Spotted Teenager giving us an aerial display.
We then head down to the seafront at Sand Bay and follow the main promenade and footpath to Sand Point.
We then follow the paths that lead above the cliffs at Sand Point taking in the great views across to Wales. Then out towards the derelict military buildings at St Thomas Head, once allegedly used for testing the bouncing bomb. We drop down to Woodspring Priory and inland to Kewstoke via footpaths and farm tracks.
After a steep climb on a faint footpath we pass the golf course and head back to the start via different woodland footpaths.
Please bring a packed lunch, although we might be able to purchase an ice cream en-route at Sand Bay.
I will be meeting people at the start point in Weston so please arrange lifts if you're meeting at St Mary Redcliffe.
Bring packed lunch. Pub to finish.
