Somerset Walks
These walks explore the peaceful Weston Wood, just above Weston-super-Mare.
You'll follow woodland trails rich with wildlife and enjoy gentle slopes that make the walks accessible to most people.
The longer route ventures further across the woods, passing the remains of an Iron Age hillfort and offering lovely views out to sea and towards Birnbeck Pier.
Both walks are perfect for a tranquil escape into nature without straying far from the coast.
