The footpath between Countisbury and Watersmeet House passes through Horner's Neck Wood which is full of glorious oak trees. With moss clinging to the trunks and branches it feels like an enchanted forest.

Hiking

Culbone Wood experiences clean, moist coastal air which results in lush vegetation growing from trees and shrubs, to ferns, mosses and lichens, all thriving in this damp microclimate. Because of this, Culbone Wood is termed an Atlantic Oakwood which is often described as Britain's temperate rainforest.
