After last minute changes to scheduled walk eleven of us turned up for a replacement walk around Lower Failand. Turned out to be quite an adventure. We met several interesting people on our way. Paul Amos, at his organic farm, (Lower Failand Organic Farm who sell produce at Farmers Market in Clevedon) chatted for quite a while about his beautiful beasts. Then further on we learnt all about treasure hunting from some enthusiasts, apparently they find quite a lot of Roman coins in the area.

Just under 5 miles, although we did ‘deviate’ slightly from route show on map. It took us through some muddy fields, woods, paths and lanes. The views over Portishead and Avonmouth were excellent even though it was overcast. We rounded everything off with an excellent meal at The Failand Inn.
