Walk 20 - Wildflower meadows, Woodlands, Views and... a Dragon - Ross Walking Festival 2026

From Swardon quarry, just above Prior's Frome, we gradually descend on open fields to the old mill at Mordiford, then follow the trail of the Dragon, look at the geology of Scutterdine and rest at the ancient lime kilns. We head through Hough woods and emerge on the attractive Broadmoor Common with seasonal flowers. We return over the summit of Backbury hill without much effort. This is a walk of ever-changing aspects. 
Bring a packed lunch and a mid-morning snack. 8 miles moderate, suitable for dogs, 10 am to 3-30 pm
