Local Walks

Walking in Somerset is a glorious way to spend your time. Somerset is served by some of the country’s most unique landscapes and the many rights of way often take in ancient and important monuments, from earthworks to ancient spring’s and towers.

There are rights of way all around Applebarn Holidays and some very popular walking paths. You can walk from Applebarn to Glastonbury Tor in around an hour and from there you have walks through to the levels nature reserves and more.

West Pennard is an ideal starting place for walks as it is right on the edge of a large area of moors and also bordering hills. The landscape changes offer real diversity of environments and very enjoyable days walking.

Many of the walking paths will take you through villages and towns with the opportunity to stop and sample a local ale or cider as well as a fine lunch (for energy purposes of course).

Walking in Somerset takes you through some challenging terrain at times and remember the levels are below sea level so sturdy – and waterproof – walking shoes/boots are highly recommended.
