Nether Stowey  Walking Group meets every Tuesday at 10.30am for those walks which start at the Medical Centre and some from further afield throughout the Quantock AONB (those walks start a little earlier, meeting at the Medical Centre at 10.15am and sharing a lift to the location).

Lifts can be organised and these can be arranged through the walk leaders who run the walks as advertised for each walk posters and leaflets on walks each month are available on this web site, at the Nether Stowey Tom Poole Library, and by Dispensary at the Quantock Medical Centre..
