Local Dog Walks

East Harptree Forest
Found This A Few Years Ago With My Late Husband And Now Go There With My Daughter. Together We Have For Dogs. Easy Walking With A Few Tracks Off To The Sides. It Was Only By Chance That We Found Out It Has An Old Chimney There. It Is Called The Smitham Chimney And Was Used Many Years Ago For Smelting Lead And Zinc. It Is Almost Surrounded By Water. Beautiful Array Of Trees And Flora Abound. Carters Cottage Smithams Hill East Harptree Bristol BS40 6BZ 5.82 miles East Harptree, Somerset

Vallis Vale Walk
A Beautiful Walk Through Woodland Next To The Mells River. The Area Is Steeped In Industrial History And A Site Of Special Scientific Interest.

There Are Several Paths And The Main Path Goes To Mells, Or The East Mendip Way Is Accessible Going South. Elm Ln 7.22 miles Parking Available At Egford, Just Off Elm Lane.

Slight Walk Up To The Top Of The Hill But The Views Are Stunning From The Top. If You Take The Left Path Once Up The Top, You Can Walk Down To Cheddar Gorge Or You Can Take The Right Path And Walk Down Into The Woods To Rowberrow Warren And Dolebury Warren. Livestock On Route And Can Get Very Muddy In The Winter Due To The Horses And Cows Churning Up The Mud Making It Very Hard To Walk Up The Hill. Lovely Walk During The Summer. We Often Spend All Day Walking There And My Two Cockers Love It! Burrington Combe Blagdon 10.44 miles Once You Enter Burrington Coombe, You’Ll See A Lay-By Further Down Beneath Burrington Ham. Park Up In The Lay-By And Cross The Road. Follow The Road Up And You’Ll See A Sign Saying Black Down On Your Right. Walk Down Past The Driveway And Make Your Way Up To The Top!
