Stowey Walking, the Walkers are Welcome group for Nether Stowey and Over Stowey, are pleased to announce the launch of their fourth walking festival in the Quantock Hills and on the West Somerset Coast. This year’s festival will extend over five days with a challenge walk around the Quantocks and surrounding villages covering fifty miles over four days. For those who prefer something a little less physically demanding we have a fossil walk along the coast lead by Geckoella environmental specialists, a history hike along the Castles and Coast Way and a fully accessible Tramper ramble in the Quantocks organised by the Disabled Ramblers, to name just a few of the events planned. Our main sponsors this year will once again be the Quantock Landscape Partnership Scheme, a three-year Heritage Lottery funded project and Somerset Passenger Solutions & Hinkley Point C, who will be providing transport to and from some of the walk start points. As always, the weekend walks will finish with tea and home-made cakes at St Mary’s Church Centre in Nether Stowey... See more >
