An ideal place for dog walkers and trail seekers alike, Cothelstone Hill has great views and lots of paths and trails to explore. I approached this route slightly different completing it in a figure of eight direction. Instead of bearing left and heading south, I went west straight up to the view point and then down to the old plantation pathway. Some of the trails especially heading down towards Wilfs Path are overgrown and can be quite tricky to navigate. It’s recommended to wear hiking boots or wellies going into the autumn and winter months because some of the lower paths leading down to the road side are very muddy.
