Following the last couple of weeks walks which have been being quite undulating I thought it only right and proper that this week would be predominantly on level ground, and there’s no better place to do that than at Somerton and the very eastern side of the infamous Somerset Levels as the high ground gives way to a flat expanse which stretches some twenty miles to the Bristol Channel. With the Mendips to the north and the Blacdown hills to the south, all water heading west has to pass through the 160,000 acres of a rich biodiversity of national and international importance. The whole area, only split by the Polden Hills supports a vast variety of plant and bird species and includes 32 SSSIs and 12 special protection areas.
With just five of us available for selection this week we met at the Brunel shopping centre car park, which allows three hours of free parking.
