Parsons Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Whether the Parson had exclusive rights to this lane once upon a time is unknown - but it's still an ace fun descent down to the reservoir.

Tip by

3.90 km

This is the highest point in the Quantocks with a summit at 1,266 feet (386 m). Wills Neck is also one of the highest points in Somerset. Surrounded by open heathland, you'll find a trig point near the summit and fantastic views to the south, west and east. The patchwork countryside unfolds before you and on a clear day you can see across to Dartmoor, Exmoor and the Mendips.

The Drove Road (Quantock Hills)

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

The Drove Road is an avenue of Beech trees which was originally used by ancient traders to transport goods and livestock to the port at Watchet.

If you keep your eyes peeled you can see cairns and barrows which mark the graves of Bronze Age settlers.

Somerton Combe

Highlight • Trail

Gorgeous, exposed part of moorland on top of the Quantock Hills. On a good day, enjoy views to Exmoor, the south coast of Wales and over to Bristol.

Black Hill Trig Point

Highlight • Summit

Well worth a visit for the views. From Crowcrombe Gate the climb is relatively and steady but loose in places but well worth the effort, when you get to the top.
