About Me

I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

Farewell Devon, hello Somerset...

14 miles from Collompton to just above Wellington.  I actually arrived at a place called Forches Corner - very difficult to find on a map -it is about three miles further on from the Wellington Monument

Wellington Monument, Somerset


There is a smashing pub there called the Merry Harriers.  If you follow the link there is an OS map on that page.

The Merry Harriers - well worth a visit.

It was a day of mixed walking types today - some country lanes, riverside walks and then footpaths up onto the Blackdown Common and hills to cross the border.

Blackdown Hills on the Devon - Somerset Border

It was by the Wellington Monument that I actually crossed the border into Somerset.

The weather today was good walking weather, not too hot and slightly overcast.

All well and looking forward to tomorrow.
