This route is around 8 miles starting from the car park at Cheddar Reservoir. It will take you along byways running past adjacent farmers fields, and through some open fields along parts of the Cheddar Yeo river. At certain times of the year you may be sharing these fields with livestock. You can cut the route a bit shorter (and avoid a particularly muddy section after wet weather) by turning right when you get to Turnpike Road (the green road on the map), walking along there for a little bit before turning right again to rejoin the footpath on the other side of the river.
