This Somerset walk explores some very quiet paths along Pennard Hill. The route passes through four small villages. Some of the paths are little used so sturdy clothing is recommended. Note that for two weeks before and at least a week after the Glastonbury festival, which is normally on the last weekend in June, many of the footpaths on this walk are closed.
