This moderate jogging route offers a refreshing escape, tracing the River Frome and Mells River through peaceful natural areas like Rodden Meadow. You will cover 6.0 miles (9.6 km) with an elevation gain of 318 feet (97 metres), typically completing the loop in about 1 hour. As you jog along sections of the East Mendip Way, you will pass through ancient woodlands and over rolling hills, perhaps catching a glimpse of Cranmore Tower in the distance. The trail also guides you into Frome's historic town center, where you can experience the charm of its cobbled Catherine Street.
Starting and ending conveniently at Frome station, this route is easily accessible by public transport. While much of the path features paved surfaces, be prepared for cobbled streets during the final half-mile into Frome. Additionally, some sections of the East Mendip Way can become muddy, so choosing appropriate footwear will enhance your jogging experience.
This loop provides a diverse landscape, blending natural beauty with historic charm as you follow the waterways and explore the East Mendip Way. The route is notable for its blend of riverside tranquility and glimpses of the wider Orchardleigh Estate. It offers a unique opportunity to connect with both the natural environment and the local character of Frome.
