Win Green & Tollard Royal

Departure from Donhead St. Mary (Wiltshire)

A walk from Wiltshire's highest point and through the villages of Tollard Royal and Berwick St James

An exploratory ramble around Iwerne Minster

Departure from Iwerne Minster (Dorset)

A gentle exploratory ramble along nearby footpaths with pleasant views. Nothing onerous.

South Cadbury, Somerset

Departure from South Cadbury and Sutton Montis (Somerset)

The walk follows the Corton Ridge and offers great views across the Somerset Levels and the Dorset Hills. It has great historic significance as Cadbury Castle is reputed to be Camelot King Arthur's Castle. You also cross the ancient medieval village of Whitcombe. It's an up and downer and can be boggy in wet weather. As an incentive there are two great pubs you can call in at!

Evercreech to Batcombe and back along the River Alham

Departure from Evercreech (Somerset)

A thoroughly pleasant and not very arduous walk from Evercreech to Chesterblade, then to Batcombe and back along the River Alham. There are quite a few hills but none of them are very long and the total ascent of the walk is surprisingly modest.

Frome to Whatley and Nunney

Departure from Frome (Somerset)

A circular walk from Frome to Whatley, then to Nunney along Nunney Combe and back to Frome via Critchill Farm.
It features the eastern end of the East Mendip Way.
