Somerset Walks
These walks begin at Triscombe Stone, a historic landmark on the edge of the Quantock Hills, and combine open hillside with shaded woodland paths.
Both routes spend time in Great Wood, where tall trees and sheltered tracks create a calm contrast to the surrounding hills.
The longer of the walks also climbs up to Wills Neck, the highest point on the Quantocks, with wide-reaching views across Somerset, before returning through woodland and open ground near Aisholt Common.
