Somerset Walks
Set on the Somerset Levels, the walks around Pawlett Hams take in a broad, open landscape where the River Parrett, farmland, and drainage ditches shape the scenery.
These walks are mostly flat and straightforward, with a mix of riverside paths and quiet rural lanes.
One route stays closer to the Pawlett Hams area, while the other follows the River Parrett for longer stretches, giving more time alongside the water and across the wider floodplain.
Both walks include sections along quiet roads, which help link together this spacious and open part of Somerset.

Walk information
This short walk explores the open landscapes and quiet country lanes of Pawlett Hams on the Somerset Levels, where flat pasture and wide skies define the setting.
The riverside section winds through low-lying fields that have been shaped by the river, farming and this floodplain landscape.
There is a fair amount of road walking on this route, but it's a quiet road with a grass verge when needed.
Walk information
This second and longer route explores a wider stretch of Pawlett Hams, extending further into the open landscape of the Somerset Levels.
The majority of the walk follows the River Parrett and although road walking is still part of the route, it’s offset by the more peaceful, longer riverside stretches.
