Mendip Meanderings to Ebbor Gorge

This is a walk, a gentle wander through typical Somerset countryside from my base in Wells. The walk starts from the Market Square in Wells and returns finally some hours later.
Distance: 7 miles, gentle walking. There are a few hills but not much to worry about.

The Wednesday market is in full swing. Wednesday is mainly farm produce day but with a whole range of cakes, breads and other foodstuffs.

Start by crossing Cathedral Green past the west front. It is one of the most beautiful places in England, and the water wells up from the ground in the precincts of the Cathedral  and Palace grounds. 

The archway to Vicar's Choral, been there for 700 years. 20 times longer than we have lived in our present house in Wells...

The oldest street in Europe has wheelie bin problems 

Dive out of the ally at the end

Past the Liberty..

and up College Road and into the secret world via the black gates...

The Combe! A hidden gem!

Yew trees over the arch...

The quiet and peaceful orchard.....with the famous Mendip Mast!

Thatch cottages with traditional pink rendering

Milton, a small hamlet above Wells.

I am checking out the sloes for later! Sloe Gin Ha!

Typical Somerset country on a warm sunny day. This is the view over Model Farm.

There has been abundant flowers in the hedges, but I don't know what these are.

Yup,  Blackberries

Looking back at Sedgemoore and Glastonbury Tor

Ebbor Gorge is quite overgrown now 

Wow, natural sculptures.

The tight bit in Ebbor Gorge, always damp and muddy!
