The 12 circular rambles described in this book, of around five miles each, guide the reader through a region of hill country which is a lesser-known area of Somerset. The highest point is reached on Blackdown at over 1000 feet. Between this and the Somerset Levels are windswept hillsides, inland cliffs, jungly combes, caverns and swallets and sweeping views. This book should be of value to those wishing to explore the Mendips on foot.
