Information on Samaritan Way

Samaritans Way.

Samaritans Way.

A walk linking the Cotswolds, the Mendips, the Polden Hills, the Quantocks, the Brendons, Exmoor National Park and the North Devon Coast. It started at Clifton Suspension Bridge on the spectacular Avon Gorge, and continued across the Chew Valley with its peaceful lakes, over the Mendips to Cheddar, along the Somerset Levels to historic Glastonbury and on to Bridgwater. We continue this programme with 2 walks in August and September. The last four walks to our final destination at Croyde Bay will follow next summer.  The total walk will have provided us with 130 miles of a varied and diverse series of walks only to be experienced in Somerset.  The walk was devised by Bristol Ramblers members to help attract visitors to the countryside and contribute to the rural economy, with profits from the guide going to the Samaritans in recognition of their support for the Farmers Help Line. If you intend to join in any of these walks please contact the walk leader during the week prior to the walk.  This will ensure we can provide sufficient transport.
