For a long, continuous route that takes in the North Somerset Levels and the Mendip Hills AONB, head for the 10-mile Yatton-Cheddar stretch of the Strawberry Line. The 2-mile section from Wells to Dulcote offers ancient woodland and spectacular hillside views of Wells Cathedral. Fledgling sections at Westbury-sub-Mendip and Shepton Mallet tantalise the active traveller with a vision of a kinder, greener future. All routes are wheelchair-friendly, with a hard all-weather surface and shallow gradients. The single exception to this is a fairly steep lane (Racurium Cottage) at Axbridge.
Yatton – Cheddar
The famous 10-mile walk or cycle that’s been in place for decades. Covering rolling hillsides, medieval towns and villages, nationally significant wetlands, sprawling cider orchards, a railway heritage centre and a railway tunnel, this trail really has it all.
Westbury-sub-Mendip – Easton
A new section opened in in two stages in December 2022 and September 2023, this mile-long path connects the Lodge Hill business park at Westbury-sub-Mendip with Easton village hall, making use of the reinforced road bridge to pass safely under the treacherous A371.
Out of Shepton Mallet
Only half a mile long at present but promising to grow considerably in the next year.
Wells – Dulcote Hill
A 2-mile section that takes in ancient woodland, several wildflower meadows and spectacular views of Wells Cathedral. For walkers, there are many ways of incorporating this path into a wider loop using adjoining footpaths.
