(D/A) The walk starts in School Lane. Walk until the paved road split and turn on the second path on your left.
(1) When the path splits, take the path on your right and then, take the wide path that goes up and straight.
(2) Follow the path on the left. At the first intersection, keep going straight to the second intersection where you'll go right and right again at the next intersection.
(3) Take the first path on your left which goes down. This part of the walk might be really muddy and therefore slippery.

Nice walk through woodland and moors. Track was a bit muddy in places but if you have good boots on not a problem. We deviated form the rout a little bit to take advantage of the spectacular views from the top point of the Mendips, well worth doing,
Sorry to read that !
Any chance you could help us to write a more precise description ?

We were disappointed with the directions for this walk, more land marks needed as it wasn’t clear which path we had to take from the beginning of the walk.

Lovely walk. Nothing majorly challenging, a few uphills and some stunning views. I’d add pictures but there doesn’t seem to be an option.
