This walk starts in the village of Buckland Dinham then heads into the Somerset countryside through Great Elm and on towards Mells where the hills above the village give good views of the historic manor house and church. A good variety of walking with open fields and meadows, riverside paths and bridleways thick with mud. Signs of spring everywhere with snowdrops, daffodils in bud and wild garlic starting to appear.
The walk started from The Bell Inn - recognisable by the pygmy goats and flying bicycle in the car park.
Don’t forget to say hello to the goats.
The views are still wintry out there …
… but you know Spring is on the way when the woods start to smell of garlic.
Lunch stop by the Mells River.
Scarlet Elf Cap Fungus.
The deep dark mossy woods.
This cute little waterfall is actually a water outlet from Whatley quarry which features in our Nunney walk.
