With Ross Walking Festival later this month, there is a good choice of walks for our guests to be tempted by. Recommend booking ahead as some are already sold out. 😊🥾🥾
Three weeks to go until the
Here's introducing you to Walk 20 – Wildflower meadows, Woodlands, Views and a Dragon
From Swardon quarry, just above Prior’s Frome, we gradually descend on open fields to the old mill at Mordiford, then follow the trail of the Dragon, look at the geology of Scutterdine and rest at the ancient lime kilns. We head through Hough woods and emerge on the attractive Broadmoor Common with seasonal flowers. We return over the summit of Backbury hill without much effort. This is a walk of ever-changing aspects. Bring a packed lunch and a mid-morning snack.
