What is it? And is it for me?

Fresh Air Business Walking is a membership and pay-per-walk programme for business leaders and their guests seeking fresh air, fresh perspectives, and fresh conversations.

It's an opportunity to relax and draw energy and inspiration from stunning natural environments; a powerful alternative to indoor meetings; a more creative and engaging form of networking; and an opportunity to share and resolve major work challenges.

This particular walk will take us through the stunning valley and hilltop scenery of he beautiful Quantock Hills to the West of Bridgewater in Somerset. On a clear day, the views across the Bristol Channel to South Wales are tremendous.

Where is the start/finish point? Where can I park? What about toilets?

We will be starting/finishing at the Combe House Hotel in Holford, TA5 1RZ. You will be welcome to use the hotel car park and facilities on the understanding you give the hotel some of your custom. Coffee/tea will be available in the morning and participants can have lunch there after the walk (both at additional personal expense).
