Birdlip Viewpoint and pub walk
6.5 miles

This is a long and strenuous pub walk adventure from the pretty village of Birdlip. You'll need a lot of energy on this one as you head out into the hilly area of woodlands and open countryside that you'll find between Birdlip and Great Witcombe. Aside from the hilly Witcombe Wood and the lovely pub in the village, you'll also visit the Witcombe Reservoirs for some waterside walking and the gorgeous Birdlip Viewpoint, making this a very varied walk that's well worth all the effort.
