Walkers are Welcome is a national organisation with over 100 accredited Walkers are Welcome towns and villages. Why should Shepton Mallet join?
We want all walkers - from all parts of our town and further afield - to feel welcome. Walking has been the salvation of many people over the last year, giving us a sense of wellbeing during difficult times.
Shepton Mallet is perfectly positioned to explore the countryside around us, nestled as it is at the gateway to the Mendip hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty criss-crossed with trails, footpaths and the remains of ancient and medieval industry and old mine workings.
By making walkers feel welcome in our town we help our local economy and community - bringing walkers and visitors to our cafes, restaurants, shops, B&Bs and hotels, and other visitor attractions, and promoting the benefits of physical, health and mental wellbeing through walking.
To become a full member we need to show that people in the town and parish of Shepton Mallet support it.
Please sign our petition and help us reach our target of 1100 signatures!

I live in Shepton Mallet (postcode BA4 5TT) and have been doing a lot of walking around the town and nearby in the last year. I think this is a brilliant intitiative.
Great idea, keen to see the paths around Shepton being more joined up and accessible all year round
There are some truly beautiful walks in and around Shepton - so much stunning countryside to discover and plenty of local businesses ready to welcome walkers into our town too!
This is a wonderful idea and we are lucky to be in an area with pleasant walks in all directions. BA4 5SQ
Shepton Mallet is surrounded by so much natural beauty, it should be explored and bring business to our town and surrounding areas.
Great idea!
A great thing to do !

Shepton has some fantastic walks….although some could be cleared a bit more regularly
