Welcome to Weare

Weare is a small village located in the county of Somerset, England. It is situated on the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills, approximately 5 miles east of the town of Axbridge. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 14th-century Church of St. Gregory the Great and the Grade II listed Manor House.

The village of Weare has a rich history dating back to the Roman era. The area was once a major centre for lead mining and quarrying, and evidence of these industries can still be seen in the landscape today. In the 19th century, Weare became a popular destination for tourists, who were drawn to the area's natural beauty and historic buildings. Today, the village remains a popular destination for visitors, who come to explore the local countryside and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this charming rural community.

Despite its small size, Weare is a thriving community with a range of local amenities, including a village hall, a primary school, and a number of shops and pubs. The village is also home to a number of community groups and organisations, including a cricket club, a gardening club, and a local history society. With its beautiful countryside, rich history, and strong sense of community, Weare is a wonderful place to live, work, and visit.

Cheddar Reservoir
A Fairly Small Circular Walk But Offers Lots Of Swimming For The Dogs. Mine Love Swimming In The Reservoir. There Are Sheep Around One Half Of The Reservoir So Dogs May Have To Be On Lead But The Other Half Does Not Have Sheep. A Football Field Is Also On Route So Dogs Can Have A Run Around There Too.

Crook Peak
Very Steep Walk Up To The Peak. Once You’Re At The Top, You Can Follow The Hill All The Way Around And Down To Cheddar So It Is A Very Decent Long Walk. The Views From The Top Are Stunning Which Makes The Climb Up Very Worth It. There Is Livestock On Route So Dogs May Have To Be On A Lead At Times. My Two Spaniels Love It Up There!

Cheddar Gorge
Lovely Walk Around The Gorge. It Is Best To Keep Dogs On Lead Because Of The Cliffs Edge But There Are Some Lovely Views At The Top. It Is A Very Hilly Walk And Is Also Fairly Long. You Can Walk Down Into The Village And There Are Toilets, Places To Eat And Have A Break Too. I Usually Walk Down From Black Down Which Makes It An All Day Walk And Means You Don’T Have To Pay For Parking

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!
