Pit Wood Walks & Route Maps

This first route offers a rewarding wander through the Quantock Hills, with a mix of country lanes, woodland paths and a few steeper sections to keep things interesting.

It begins near the historic St Giles Church, parts of which date back to the 13th century, and passes a local pub about half way around the walk.

The route then returns through Erridge Wood and into Pit Wood, where mixed woodland give a sense of the area’s character. There is some road walking.

This second option is a longer route through Pit Wood and offers a more demanding outing in the Quantock Hills, with plenty of climbs and some steep, testing sections along the way.

It weaves through mixed woodland and links with the historic Coleridge Way, reflecting the landscapes that once inspired the poet.

The walk also passes through the grounds of Nettlecombe Park and on towards quieter woods like Erridge Wood.

Please note that this walk includes country lanes and a short stretch on a faster road with no footpath, so please take care.

Along the way, there’s also a chance to visit a local pub for a well earned break.
