We found it to be the best route to the Gorge, longer but flatter overall !

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!

Added a few pics of a sunrise caught in june. was on way to the gorge and had to stop and take these.

Dolebury Warren is the site of an Iron Age hill fort and was also occupied during the Roman period. Today the site still has many earthworks to explore and bands of rock which may have been the foundations of walls. As a runner the ridgeline is fun to run with a not too steep ascent and fun descent whichever way you run it. The Limestone Link trail goes along the summit and it makes a good addition to a Beacon Batch loop from Burrington Combe.

Just a bit of information about the car park which gains access to the SSSI area. It is a decent size rough gravel car park with no facilities. It is also deal for hiking up Beacon Batch.

Black Down Hill or Beacons Batch is the highest hill in the Mendip Hills at 325m, Somerset, in south-western England. Black Down lies just a few miles eastward of the Bristol Channel at Weston-super-Mare, and provides a view over the Chew Valley. It has a trig pointed summit and is a UK designated Marilyn with a prominence of over 150m.

there is a large hill to walk up at the start of the tour (starts from the pub, turns left into the woods & goes uphill). The hill ends with a wonderful view down to the coast & wales! Sometimes it IS worth looking back 😉😊

Rowberrow Warren is a beautiful woodland on the edge of Black Down. There are plenty of footpaths through the woodland, which is home to many bird, insect, mammal and fungi species. It is a great place to include on a wider loop of Dolebury Warren and Beacon Batch.
