Bampton, Wiveliscombe and the lakes This page covers the southern part of the Brendon Hills, including the artificial but nevertheless attractive Clatworthy Reservoir and Wimbleball Lake, as well as the rolling country between Bampton and Wiveliscombe. The landscape is farmland, woods and streams with small villages and hamlets, often attractive, interesting and off the beaten track. Walks are typically undulating rather than particularly strenuous. Click the walk name to download the route.
