Nestling between the Mendips and the Bristol Channel, Loxton is well located to explore the varied hill-country, coast and limestone natural wonders of northern Somerset.
The West Mendip Way passes the hotel and leads east to Crook Peak or westwards to Bleadon Hill - both with spectacular views over the Somerset Levels to Exmoor. We can explore Cheddar Gorge and its caves, the Burrington Combe ravine leading on to Dolebury hill-fort and Beacon Batch, the highest point on Mendip.
There's coastal walking near Weston-Super-Mare too. On a non-walking day, you could just enjoy the hotel's facilities or perhaps visit nearby Wells, Wookey Hole or Glastonbury.
Meals: Accommodation is half board with breakfasts and dinners taken at the hotel. Picnic lunches are included on days including a guided walk. Accommodation: The Webbington Hotel,Loxton, Somerset
