Still there in December 2025, unpainted and almost invisible before you hit it. . Very solid and would likely be dangerous if you didn’t know it was there. Grateful to have been warned beforhand- thanks @cordeliahughes

We walked this route in June 2025 and there was so much vegetation near the waterfall and further along the route that we had to improvise the route. Otherwise it is a beautiful route with a lot of variety.

Timsbury basin is one of the remnants of the old Somerset Coal Canal. This is where the canal began, flowing from here down to the Kennet and Avon canal near Bath. The canal isn't complete, but you can trace the route starting with these ponds.

Massive bump on a private road going downhill. My friend came off and we ended up having to call an ambulance and he has fractured his back. Avoid at all costs, it's v. easy to miss. (we have reported it/ asked a neighbour to paint it!)

Quiet road with great views. If you carry on a bit further you can see the Severn Bridge on a clear day.

A waterfall in a wood. Footpaths and kissing gates so be nice.
