Monthly Guided Walks

Our monthly walks are open to everyone and are normally between 5 and about 7 miles long. You don’t need to register with us, there’s no charge and there’s no need to book. Just come along and join in, you’ll be most welcome. Please wear clothing appropriate for the weather and robust footwear; the terrain can be grassy, muddy, stony or tarmac. There may be stiles to negotiate and usually at least one hill to climb.
We walk on the second Sunday and last Tuesday of each month. Please arrive around 9.25 a.m. ready to leave at 9.30; we’re usually back by lunchtime, 12.30 / 1.00 ish. You may wish to bring a drink and snack for a short refreshment stop en route.
Occasionally we have a longer walk of 10+ miles or a walk where we go further afield, by minibus or train.
We meet outside Explore BoA (Tourist Information) which is in Westbury House Gardens next to the Town Bridge, BA15 1DE.
