Mendip Way
« on: 22:52:43, 10/09/17 »
Hi all


After a great weekend at the South West Outdoors Festival, myself and my other half are interested in walking the Mendip Way. I can't find much information at all online so was wondering if anyone had done this walk and had any tips? Places to stay etc?


Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
You could try posting this in the South west regional section too as more people might see it.

I have walked most of the West Mendip Way bit of this walk as day walks. Accommodation wise there is a YHA at Cheddar a little way off the route, a camp site (Mendip Heights) near the path by Priddy. The Queen Vic in Priddy is worth a visit.

There is also a Premier Inn on the A38 near where the route crosses it at Kings Wood/Shute Shelve and a campsite.

The route also passes by the Webbington Hotel at Loxton.

Depends what sort of accommodation you are looking for.

As to the route itself, signposting was a bit hit and miss so you'll definitely need to refer to your map or GPS. I enjoyed the bits I walked, I would add in the climb to the top of Dolebury Warren and then divert up to Beacon Batch because I can't resist high points! Also I have a history of getting misplaced in Rowberrow Warren!!

The caves at Wookey Hole and Cheddar are worth a visit although both have their tacky side. Also take time to visit Wells Cathedral.

I can't comment on the route to the East of Wells as I've not got round to walking that bit yet.
Enjoy every sandwich
