Exeter Pilgrimage 2012

Day 2: Bath to Chew Magna

God's Role: Our Father
Who is God the Father?

Our pilgrimage this year departs from the city of Bath, our first visit to the city since the one and only time on the Wessex walk in 1986. We leave Bath on one of the flatest routes possible, following the river Avon west, before leaving the river to get our first taste of the Somerset countryside. Unlike last year's first day we leave the city within a fast 3 miles of walking, but similarly to that day our starting direction is west. We pass through the villages of Newton St Loe, Stanton Prior and Marksbury on our way to Compton Dando for lunch at the Compton Inn. With the majority of the days walking done, we follow the river Chew on its course to Stanton Drew for our main service, before a further dash to Chew Magna.
