Some of my favourite parts of the Mendips, there. That cat you spotted in Ebbor Gorge is named Willow and seems to get 'renewed' every couple of years. A bit further around the corner, heading away from the Mendip Way, there's another creature to be found (or feared)... ;-) It's worth climbing up the rocky gorge path itself but on a dryer day. Woodland near the top is carpeted in bluebells in the spring. Every December, the Queen Victoria Inn is transformed in to... The Gingerbread Inn! Drawing crowds from all over! I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing and good to see you getting on to the Mendips. All the best.
Thank you for the lovely video! Well done for the combination of realtime speech and post production voice over. Can confirm it is as muddy now as when you shot your video. I just walked from Glastonbury to Ebbor Gorge and back - my first winter wildcamping, looking forward to some more local walks!
Great vlog Abbie your Vids mean a lot to people like myself that have mobility problems it is as though we are sharing the walk with you so many thanks Abbie please keep them coming. Regards Shep,.
Thanks for another great walk Abbie. Glastonbury Tor really is beautiful and the whole route was a breath of very fresh air! So much history in this area and to imagine our ancestors coping with the elements as they strove on to suceed living there.
What a lovely walk. I enjoyed it very much despite all the mud - what do you expect in a wet January? Great to see you in good spirits. Super film and nice music at the end. Thanks for taking me along
Winter is my favourite time of the year for doing these types of walk as you can see so much when there is no tree/hedge cover. Can't wait to see some new walks from the Lake District, always my favourites as I've be walking/climbing there all my life
Another great look at the countryside that holds so much history! I really enjoy listening to you as you wander along the paths! Would love to join you on a hike and wild camping ... if only I lived closer! Oh, well ... I have many trails here in Canada yet to tick off my list! See you on your next adventure! Thanks again for taking me along! 😎
Hi Abbie, I’m from the Mendips and did most of that walk on Sunday- although we walked towards Wells and up to the huge mast. The weather was beautiful!!! I highly recommend you come back to the Mendips and do some more, maybe in better weather 😁
Great stuff Abs Lots of inspiration to get out again, so much so pulled out my old camping kit from the loft polished my ammo boots and bought another tent..
Great walk in a lovely part of the world. The Mendips often get overlooked by loftier perches but the views over the Levels have some pretty big skies. But them I'm biased because they're my back garden!
Nice vlog Abbie, only 10 mins drive away from me! Have you ever walked the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall? Stunning coastal walks, especially in late spring/summer!
I can sit on my sofa in Warsaw, and enjoy an invigorating walk around Somerset at the same time. Lovely. I think I'll now head out on a walk of my own this week.
I've been to ebbor gorge a lot, yeah that first gate is a nightmare for mud, they should put some concrete slabs there or something. Stockhill wood is opposite the minories, very picturesque, definitely worth a look if you're near by 🙂
The Victoria Inn is relatively recent, bearing in mind The New Inn, which is not mentioned, is early 15th Century but has been completely ruined ( not surprising it was given a miss !) by being over developed, nothing like it was in its original state only 60 years ago. My wife and I slept there many times, tea in bed, hot water jug and basin and toilet outside at bottom of garden. The gents pub toilet was outside, at the front, just left of the pub entrance, just a gutter no roof and no flush !! Owned by Oliver and Silvester Speed, both who died in their 80s and continued by Mrs Speed and niece Phylis, until Mrs Speed died and Phylis moved to Cheddar, which must have been a great cultural shock, as she was so shy and retiring.

Abbie you're such a lovely inspiring lady, love to watch your walks. Can't wait for drier weather to get my walking boots back on. X
Your videos are just so well done! And I love you never put adds! 👍
Abbie, I been watching films past two weeks, you got even more walking now, I put my farms up keep it up
A good walk around the Mendips which is a great place for walks, although not always as muddy as you went.
Great vlog Abbie your Vids mean a lot to people like myself that have mobility problems it is as though we are sharing the walk with you so many thanks Abbie please keep them coming. Regards Shep,.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. It was like a very nice mini mini vacation to Somerset.
Very enjoyable Abbie. Lovely to see you out
Great video. Muddy walk but great countryside.

Thanks, Abbie. Lovely little walk. 👍🙂
Great walk Abbie....you forgot your walking poles (I often do) they are such a boon when it's steep & muddy!...👍

Nice one Abbie!
keep your boots, muddy. Stay Wild :-))
Awesome . Keep up the great work . Also what do you use to edit your videos please ,?
Loved the walk'
That is a nice area Abbie. I can see that British walkers aren’t put off by a little mud.
Too bad about the dumping. They do that in Arkansas too.
I can sit on my sofa in Warsaw, and enjoy an invigorating walk around Somerset at the same time. Lovely. I think I'll now head out on a walk of my own this week.
Amazing. Do you have internet access in Warsaw?

Hey was that willow the cat. Great vid Abbie.
Did you not go a field on to look at Priddy Circles? Or is that on private land ?
The plant is called old man's beard 👍
Don’t take the Mick out of me Rob 😉
Or wild clematis or travelers joy
Congrats on getting "Creator on a Rise" badge on the youtube trending page
clay soil!!! horrible! I'll wait for summer :-) the barrows are amazing

Another great video 👍 can u
I ask you, do you use a separate mic?
Quagmire
Did Styal Woods Sun 1st it was like the Somme without the bulletts
It’s not anything to do with Roses !!!
It’s wild Clematis, known by country folk as “ Old Mans Beard “ , very pretty in flower. Now you know !!!
Travellers Joy is the plant at the beginning.
Nice teeth
