The walk

King's Sedgemoor Drain Walk

This is a lovely stroll around the King's Sedgeway Drain which is an artificial channel that diverts water from the River Cary.

You'll first head off on a long quiet country lan on a loop that takes you around the back of Pendon Hill, before eventually you'll reach the village of Bawdrip where you can visit the pretty church.

Afetr that, you'll enjoy a waterside stroll back to the start on a long footpath next to the channel itself.
