This route starts at Wedmore and heads east across the Somerset Levels to Rodney Stoke, following the River Axe for much of the way. After passing St Leonard's Church, the path begins to head back westwards. The going is pretty flat until it reaches Nyland Hill, though the climb is well worth the far-reaching views over the Levels. From Beyond Bristol book 2.
