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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
