Smitten Corner has a rather lovely name for what is essentially just a small car park. There's much more than meets the eye though, as so many footpaths, bridleways and other ways seem to converge here, you're quite spoilt for choice for adventures.

Hardy's Monument lies mere moments up the road, as do far-reaching views, pockets of woodland, a sculpture area and Neolithic burial chambers.

A weird name considering it's just a small car park. but, it's free, and if you're smitten by free things, you'll be smitten by this corner. lol
