SHORT WALKS TO SNOWDROP VALLEY FROM WHEDDON CROSS

Turn right into the long stay/market car park, through the gate at the back and turn right down the track. Bear left at the small fork, and then turn left through the gate by the cattle grid.Follow the track through open fields for approx quarter of a mile. Turn right to follow the hedgeline down to hunting gate, through gate and follow track down into valley. Keep going straight until just before you meet a road where you turn right and follow the path which runs parallel to the road down to the bottom of the hill opposite SnowdropValley.
