The walk follows the river Land Yeo as it flows through the historic Victorian town of Clevedon and the Blind Yeo with its countryside and coastal views. A circular flat walk of about 6 miles paved in places with some road crossings it is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs and very dependent on weather conditions. Appropriate footwear is required too, as it can be muddy. Take great care at the few road crossings.
Mike and David along with 14 members of the civic society have explored the wonders of this walk and here is the photograph to prove it.

Hello
You.may recall some while ago I came along to your group meeting to talk about my project to track and record otter activity on the Land Yeo.
More recently I’ve been appointed a voluntary river bailiff for The Angling Trust and Fish Legal an organisation representing Angling in the UK and working in partnership with The Environment Agency on fishery protection.
I’d like the opportunity to meet up with you again to tell you about the work of The Angling Trust and our Building Bridges project to promote responsible and legal angling.
If you’d like to hear more I’d be happy to come along and give a short informative talk. Thank you.
