Although the parish church of St Peter at Monkton Farleigh was largely rebuilt in the 19th century, it retains some features of the 12th century -the tower and the north door. This early building was possibly connected to the foundation of the Cluniac Priory in the same village in about 1120-30. Today it has an aisleless nave and chancel in 13th century style, built of local limestone, under a considerable quantity of stone tiles on the roof. Despite being so close to the source of some of the best building stone in the country, the whole church, apart from some dressings, is made of rubble stone. It is listed, Grade II* for the old parts. Monkton Farleigh church tower The west tower is 12th century Norman romanesque with twin round-headed windows with roll mouldings on each face of the bell chamber. Short buttresses at the base, the parapet and saddleback roof were added later. The tall arch into the nave is from a Victorian “restoration”. The other medieval survival is the porch on the north side of the nave, which protects a typical Norman round-arched doorway with chevron decoration into which a Tudor doorway had been inserted and retains its wooden door of that time.

A fantastic sneak view of some of the beautiful wolves

The countryside around Bath is spectacular, plenty of great paths to follow and incredible views to experience

The old avenue runs for almost exactly a mile slightly downhill from Monkton Farleigh Manor. The footpath sticks to the left as you head downhill and then crosses to the right at the gate halfway along. It's really fun to run in either direction although it can get a bit wet in the middle.

Great views and interesting quarry area

Stand by the entrance on a hot day for a cool down.
