A return to the Frome Valley

Crossing the River Frome in Moorend

If you’ve done Walk Twenty ‘Stapleton and the Frome Valley’ a few times and are becoming over-familiar with it, then this new walk may be the perfect companion piece for it.

Walk Thirty-Five ‘Hambook and Winterbourne Down’ explores a quieter and more rural section of the Frome Valley on the other side of the M4 Motorway. It’s a rewarding, partly rural circuit that explores the two villages of the title as well as the idyllic hamlet of Moorend and a slightly wilder section along the Bradley Brook valley. The perfect antidote to three months of lockdown.

Next time: We’ll be paying a visit to Lawrence Weston…
