Walking trips with creature comforts

Guided walking weekend in King Arthur country

King Arthur's Camelot
Somerset guided walking weekend

Somerset's character is mellow and ancient with a rare feel of times gone by. Patchworks of small fields in hues of green intermingle with apple orchards and unspoilt villages filled with golden hamstone cottages.

Explore landscapes of undulating countryside and admire views to a distant Glastonbury Tor and the ancient site of King Arthur's 5th century castle stronghold.
