This tranquil woodland is criss-crossed with hiking and mountain biking trails throughout its hilly landscape. Managed by the Forestry Commission, Rowberrow Warren is a thriving forest and alive with birdsong and wildlife. Vast, you could happily spend a couple of hours exploring the paths here and the Mendip Way traverses the southern section of it.

This really is such a stunning area of woodland, and it is truly worth a visit.
Personally (just my preference), I would avoid summer at all costs! The pub is heaving, there (can be) fights over the car park 😳🙈...
Plus, it is surprisingly hilly! Although the hills do reward you with gorgeous views, it's something to bear in mind with hot weather.
Plus, I just think woodland has such a stunning atmosphere in Autumn 🍂.
Whenever you choose to go, I am sure you'll love it.
Some of the paths are quite rocky & steep, so just another thing to bear in mind - but certainly don't be put off!
