Walk - Southern Quantocks - Karen

• On 04/05/2025

SUNDAY.  Karen will lead a walk from Kingston St Mary, heading via bluebells to Cothelstone Hill and back. 

This 8 mile walk encompasses the best of English countryside. Starting from Kingston St Mary, we head through the park historic estate of Tetton House with some splendid trees, then up through a quintessentially English green grassy valley, through bluebell woods and up to the top of Cothelstone hill with magnificent views. Down again through the Cothelstone estate, where at the bottom we can visit a 14th century divination well where virgins used divination to discover their future husbands. Lunch at Cothelstone church, then the footpath leads us through the grounds of the Elizabethan Cothelstone manor. Back through gently undulating fields, Tetton estate again, and finishing for Tea at Kingston St Mary.

Although only 8 miles, there is a 1,100 ft ascent and descent – all in the first half of the walk, then gently undulating for the second half.
