- The walk is 5.16 miles long.

- There are 2 stiles
- There are some short steep descents
- There is one long up gradient to near the summit of Black Down
- On the top of Dolebury Warren, there are fantastic views west of Western Mendips, Bristol Channel and Weston-super-Mare. On a clear day, you can see across to Wales and the Brecon Beacons.
- Black Down Hill is the highest point on The Mendips with views towards Bristol Airport.
- The paths on The Mendips are easy walking but a little stony in places, so it would be a good idea to wear stout walking shoes/boots.
