キャメリーでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

We walked this route in June 2025 and there was so much vegetation near the waterfall and further along the route that we had to improvise the route. Otherwise it is a beautiful route with a lot of variety.

Timsbury basin is one of the remnants of the old Somerset Coal Canal. This is where the canal began, flowing from here down to the Kennet and Avon canal near Bath. The canal isn't complete, but you can trace the route starting with these ponds.

Stunning waterfall tumbling down a rocky cleft in the woods with pools for paddling.

The lower and upper Litton reservoirs were built in the 1850 s by the Bristol Waterworks Company. Today it's a peaceful place for a walk. Watch out for the wide variety of insects and birds who live here.

A waterfall in a wood. Footpaths and kissing gates so be nice.

Good paths through this little wood. Gates to negotiate

Either of these will work as quieter entrances to Paulton. It's on a hill so it's a down-and-up any way you slice it.

Just outside the village of Hinton Blewett and on the Limestone Link footpath, pause at the bench here to enjoy the excellent views across the countryside. Patchwork fields, big skies and distant hills make this a wonderful snack stop on a clear day. The viewpoint looks north west across the Chew Valley and you can glimpse the edge of the Mendip Hills due west.

Late spring brings extraordinary bluebell displays in this vibrant nature reserve whilst the waterfall delights hikers throughout the year. Goldilocks buttercups, anenomes and butterbur are all found here along with butterflies such as red admiral, painted lady and brimstone.

Lovely but muddy after rain. You are basically walking in the stream, in places.

Great spot for a rest and a cuppa!

Ideal spot for a cuppa!

A relic of the Mendip Hills industrial past. The Cornish-style chimney survived when the site closed in 1875 and was saved from complete destruction in 1973 by The Mendip Society and Somerset County Council. In front of the Chimney there is a pond where you can see dragonflies in the summer months. There are also fine views of the Chew Valley from the grassland area nearby. The project to improve the area around the chimney is a partnership between Forestry England, the Mendip Society, the Mendip Hill AONB Unit, Countryside Agency and Aggregate Industries.

A very unusual aqueduct, completed in 1851. It is formed from wrought iron tubes on top of limestone piers. It is still in use, part of a network of aqueducts and tunnels feeding the Valley’s spring water to Bristol. It is thought to be the oldest surviving example of this type of engineering in existence and, in order to preserve it, was listed by English Heritage in 1989.

Harptree Combe – a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). In contrast to the conifers of East Harptree Woods, this area contains deciduous oak and ash woodland, with old hazel coppice and rough, marshy grassland. Steep limestone walls rise on both sides, with tiny caves visible in the rock face. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) to protect the flora and fauna that thrive in its old ash woodland, rocky crags and rough grassland.

Currently serving cold takeaway beers etc from their farm shop - ideal place to ride out to!

Nice to use to link up some sections

A gravelly track that provides an excellent way of getting between the Bristol area and Radstock when combined with Featherbed lane. Well compacted, a few puddles but mostly a well-maintained track used by locals.

Camera work could be better. Otherwise good shortcut.

Old pub with views and delicious, hearty food for hungry cyclists (especially as you climb up to get here).
