Join us for the Somer Valley Walking Festival 2025!
This is the longest walk of the festival at 10-miles, starting in Timsbury
Starting at 10:00 am
This walk takes you south of Timsbury into a landscape shaped by coal mining, now engulfed in nature. Much of your route will have been walked by men, women and children on their way to work the pits and farms. Almost immediately on leaving Timsbury the vista opens towards the south west. The farmland provides an undulating walk to Somerset Coal Canal. You take a lesser walked path up out of the Cam Valley through a conservation area. Over the hill the route follows an avenue of trees to Clandown where you will hear about the unusual guest of The Lamb Inn. From Clandown start your walk back to the hall via fields and Camerton Court. Rejoin the Limestone Link before climbing out of the valley through Lower Conygre batch. View a new vine yard and admire the impressive period house, ‘Parishes’ before reaching your well deserved tea and cake refreshments.
Tea, Coffee and Cake will be available at the Conygre Hall when you return from your walk.
Please wear practical walking shoes and bring a packed lunch for the day! Further information will be shared prior to the walk.
