Walk 1 Sedgemoor Battlefield (4 miles)
Difficulty:
This fairly easy walk starts from the church where the Rebels were kept as prisoners.
It follows a long distance hiking route out of the village, through a disused airfield and returns via a public footpath along the Kings's Sedgemoor Drain.
After a mile turn left onto a track, then take fist track on your left and soon onto another track on your right.
This leads towards the battle memorial.
