This walk starts in the village of Wellow and takes us East and then North of Wellow. We will walk through the hills and valleys around the north. We will then continue south of Wellow to visit Stoney Littleton Long Barrow, thought to be a 5,000-year-old burial ground. You can explore inside the barrow. A torch is recommended. We then return back up into the village.
We will be following mostly gravel paths and fields. It will be muddy in places. There are some small hills throughout and a short sharp hill to get to the barrow.
Bring a 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,
