Cottages near Doulting Church Walk

Follow Farm Road over the East Somerset Railway Bridge and then head along a footpath across fields. Cross the A361 and go into the churchyard of the 12th century St Aldhelm's church. Check out the crystal clear waters of the well below the church, reputed to have healing powers. Take the footpath up Ingsdons Hill and join the East Mendip Way towards Shepton Mallet. Turn left onto Bodden Lane and cross the A361 again. If you are ready for a refreshment stop, pop into the Charlton House Hotel before continuing south along Frog Lane, through Bullimore Farm and up to the ridge where you can enjoy lovely views over the Somerset Levels. Walk east along the ridge back to the starting point or follow one of the many footpaths across Doulting Sheep Sleight to vary the length of your walk. Approximately 4 miles.
