Monk's Path to Home Farm Blue Anchor

Meanders across gentle farmland and quiet woodland tracks linking Monk's Path with Home Farm near Blue Anchor. Mostly flat terrain with a few mild undulations, ideal for families with young children and suitable for sturdy all-terrain buggies on drier days. Dogs welcome to explore the rural surroundings.

Macmillan Way West

Traces a long-distance footpath through Somerset's gentle farmland and river valleys with occasional moderate climbs. Suitable for confident families with older children on individual sections, but uneven ground and stiles make it unsuitable for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The route rewards walkers with quintessential West Country scenery, historic villages, and well-maintained waymarking linking castles, churches, and countryside between Abbotsbury and Castle Cary.
