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.
